Over the top of a loose pre-flop raiser

[Fnord]

LAgg was pretty much running the table. Raising to around $2-$3 on any playable hand. An earlier hand he raised to about that much with pocket Kings. Between pots taken down on bets and a couple lucky hits he was up big. Then he busts out the $5 pre-flop raise from out of position. Hmmm... what would he bet like that with?

nice play on your part - i would have put hom on AA, or at least KK, AK. especially considering his position.

good read. what tipped you off that he didn't have a monster?

Frequency and size of his raises. If he had AA or KK he would have (and had) made a more callable bet. Probably with QQ and AK too.

So I put him on JJ - 77 or garbage.
