    Default 2 Hands vs a sLAA - what would you do?

    My table image up to this level has been extemely tight and aggressive. I think my VP$IP was like around 10-12. The sLAA has around a 26 VP$IP and were both pretty even on aggressiveness.

    Hand 1 - He's UTG and throws out a min raise. Anyone who min raises me and especially when I'm in the small blinds at least deserves a call just to show I'm not scared to play a weak hand. I pair both cards and he shows about a 26% WTSD%.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (6 handed)

    MP (t1390)
    CO (t4225)
    Button (t3360)
    SB (t8490)
    Hero (t10785)
    UTG (t3190)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with Q, 5.
    UTG raises to t400, 4 folds, Hero calls t200.

    Flop: (t725) 5, Q, 8 (2 players)
    Hero ???

    Do I push here? check-raise and if I do he reraises then what? Or put in a value bet to check his "min-raise" from pre-flop?

    Hand 2 - A few hands later after a bad hand and here he is again. This time I get Q2s. I'm puting him on a Jx offsuit likey as I see he plays allot of Jacks frequently. I decide a attempt on a steal off the small blinds with my stadard raise. So it's a coin flip in my eyes.

    I lead hand 1.

    hand 2 I lol. just fold. YOU HAVE Q2!!! You put him on Jx exactly. Stop and read that sentence again. You're dominated by 33 here.

    standard raise of 5x this late is bad. You're just helping people fold bad hands.
