    Default AJo from BB against a Lag aggro from UTG - $100NL

    UTG has been pretty laggy entire game, stacking ppl off and rebuying. No HUD on laptop so don't know what his running but from reads, he was a laggy moron. He has minraised before in position with garbage and showed it down. Not sure what to put him on, if he has 88 I do not mind stacking him off but from his line, that all in push almost certainly seems a bluff since he has slow played big a hand to death and let SB catch draw. QT is a possibility as well, pretty sure doesn't have a king. With all those reads, and pot bigger than his bet, call or fold? Would it have been better for me to reraise/shove over on the flop even though I know that if he missed and is bluffing that he will for sure fire a 2nd round or is that getting too cute?

    His range from raising from any position is quite wide but to limp UTG I would say: 22-66, A2-7, AXs, maybe small to mid SC's, TJ is possibility, QTo as well.

    He would almost certainly raise with 77+, any two broadway cards, etc.

    His range for limping and then calling a $5 raise is where I am not sure what range I should put him on or do I assume since his a weak player that the range for calling the raise should not be narrowed down from his limping UTG range?


    $0.5/$1 No Limit Holdem

    Stacks:
    UTG ($76.60)
    CO ($39.90)
    BTN ($50.70)
    SB ($205.15)
    Hero ($131.45)

    Pre-flop: ($1.5, 5 players) Hero is BB
    UTG calls $1, 1 fold, BTN calls $1, SB calls $0.5, Hero raises to $6, UTG calls $5, BTN folds, SB folds

    Flop: ($14, 2 players)
    Hero bets $11, UTG raises to $22, Hero calls $11

    Turn: ($58, 2 players)
    Hero checks, UTG bets $48, $48 to Hero ($103.45)?

    Yeah I agree. You're hands not good enough to play bluff catcher. Wait for a better spot against this guy.

    you describe the opponent as fishy but the description you give sounds like someone who'll be very difficult to play against OOP. I'd suggest checking behind preflop unless you have a very solid read on what his postflop actions mean.

    this may sound weak, but how many times will your c-bet take down the pot? how often will he bluff a flop that hits you big?
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?
