The nit inside me says fold this preflop….. You're out of position against a LAG and you know you're gonna be looking @ a cbet on the flop. If he's aggressive as you say he is, then you've got position on him, try and use it to your advantage and let him hang himself when you have a monster in position. It's still early in the tourney……

As played, I'm just looking to get to a showdown as cheaply as possible.

Check/call flop.

Check on the Turn

Check River……… I 'probably' fold here, but I understand the reason for a call, villian either has KT, KJ, K9, or he has complete air Ax, JT, T9 etc (I assume he bets the turn with trips/fullhouse etc)………. if he has a hand like 77, 88, 99 etc he checks this river.

Pokerstove stats are interesting, I've assigned villian a really wide range, where he bets a KING and alll air. We have around 83% equity, which makes it a call on the river.

I dont hate the way you played it at all being OOP and 100bb deep. You have value in your hand and i dont see a ton of value from raising at any point, allthough it may be +Ev to do so, but since your OOP 100bb deep i probably dont risk the marginal value. Defo calling the river allthough the sizing is telling me 'I binked the K, please pay me off'

Flat flop, lead turn pretty big, blocker bet river.

I like this best. It may be a bit passive…but sometimes..let the donkey pull instead of pushing….. you're also deep enough to get a feel of how the villain plays.

c/r the flop seems backwards to me. what hands do we expect him to be calling the check-raise with?

 

and for those who say our hand is vulnerable, to what? this is as dry a flop as can be.

 

i think OP played the hand fine.

Hagbard:  we are vulnerable to a K or and A or a straight  draw frm a 78 or 34 aren't we?  I realized its not a huge range of hand sbut certainly on a 50/34 villains range.  I say we take it down on flop.  if we are simply check calling twice we just give him a chance to catch up and we risk about the same amount of chips.

at first look i really liked the line of c/c flop and lead turn but then i thought what if he raises on the turn what do we do with our hand then its would be a tough decision i think.  and if he flats turn what do we do on river probably have to bet fold.  i think after looking at it from that angle there is not a whole lot of value in a lead on the turn.  i guess i like your line the best and i would have to call river even though i have no idea where i am at now.
