CO has been fairly LAG and has been caught bluffing on the flop more then once.

My thought process at the CR got very circular and i got very confused as to how I should be looking at this hand objectively...any help would be appreciated on a decent way to think about this hand...

[tuuk2]

Based on your read as LAG, I'm calling. It's possible that he's got the 9's, but I'm more likely putting him on A-8, or K-8.

[baudib]

Snap call imo.

[rudefella]

I probably call, since lots of draws are in this range - two clubs, JT, T7, 76. If he's really that nuts, he could have A8, A8s, K8s, Q8, J8, T8, 87 or possibly even 77, 66. If he shows up with a 9 with out an Ace, you still have two outs.

[baudib]

BTW, this isn't a check-raise but a weak lead/4-bet into a PFR.

If he's a GOOD LAGgy player maybe you could give him credit for a hand that beats you but good LAGs are incredibly rare in $5.50 donkaments.

with how wet that board is combined with the fact that this villain is LAG, this is very good spot. you played this fine...i wouldnt call the c/r because you just have one pair on a very coordinated board

Im gambling

Juan 9s are kinda heavy in your range compared to draws and we have close to that price anyway. And I think this is an amazingly tricksome line with a 9 that I would expect almost never.

[fjuanl]

yeah exactly, i think this line is very rarely 9x so our situation is probably even better than 70%

This is how the hand played out...I about gagged when I saw him turn his cards up...He also never slowed down his play after this either...I am still awed...

.i wouldnt call the c/r

you cornfused me

[hopeful]

Two nice plays, I like the all in on that board, hyper aggressive but most hands would fold, even AA would have to think about it. The villains limp call range could well have hit the flop, Heros Raise was unlkely to hit.
