 Weird hand from home game. (Possibly not very interesting)
This is from a home game I played in just tonight (or rather this morning). We're playing 4-handed, UTG (Brad) is a fairly good player who plays semi-loose aggressive. I've been playing very loose and aggressive. Effective stacks are about $60.
Blinds are $0.25/$0.50, he raises to $1.25, which is his standard raise. He can be holding anything from a premium hand to a lot of weird speculative hands. Pretty much a standard aggressive player's preflop raising range in a short-handed game. I'm on the button with K-2 of diamonds and reraise to $4.50 (a bit questionable, but I sometimes make these plays at him when I think he is playing too aggressively before the flop), the blinds fold and he calls. The flop comes K, J, 8 rainbow, he bets out $7, and I call. He's capable of doing this when he can't beat top pair (he likes to make these weird out of position bets with very marginal hands), and I'm capable of laying down on the turn unimproved if he continues to show strength. The turn is a K which doesn't open up any flush draws, he bets $14 and I call. The river is a T, and he checks. It's possible he's checking a reasonably big hand here (trips or better), but he's also capable of playing something like A-J in this manner on the flop and turn, and then making a "good call" on the river. Should I value bet or check? Does it even matter?
