PL$200 against a speeding LAG

Lafortezza

Villain (according to PT) is a decent winner at PL$400, I don't have many hands on him at PL$200. Been at a couple of his tables tonight and

1) He's raising quite a few hands, seemingly not bothered about position.

2) The hands that he has shown down have been decent enough, marginal to be raising with from the blinds/EP maybe.

3) His post flop aggression also usually has a reason behind it, some kind of a draw, or blockers to the current nuts. I've seen him bluff once with air but that was against a short stack.

4) He is steaming slightly, he has mentioned several times that he's been on the losing side of set-over-set so far tonight.


Stack sizes:

Hero: $235.70
SB: $682.59

Pre-flop: (9 players) Hero is UTG+1 with K K 2 Q rainbow

UTG folds, Hero calls, MP1 folds, MP2 calls, 3 folds, SB raises to $11, BB folds, Hero calls, MP2 folds.

Flop: Ad Kd 5c rainbow ($26, 2 players)
SB insta-bets $22.8, Hero calls.

Turn: 8h ($71.6, 2 players)
SB insta-bets $66.6, Hero calls.

River: Qh ($204.8, 2 players)
SB insta-bets $199.8,

Hero ($136) ??


I was hoping that with my quick calls on the flop and turn that he'd slow down, especially when a hand like QJT9 get's there on the end. But no, he pots every street.

Call or fold the river? I thought for the max time before deciding.



Also is anyone getting slightly garbled emails when they request hand historys from Party? Using gmail.

I understand the flop call but not the turn one. Surely you should be repotting the turn.

I agree.

I think the only reason to flat call the turn is to induce a bet from him on the river. I think you have to call the river. While you're calling the river you should be asking yourself why you played the hand so badly. The poker gods gifted you on the turn, and you wasted it.

Were you worried about aces? If so you should have folded the turn.

You shouldn't have to request HH's by email - they're auto-stored in the party-gaming folder in your program files in a sub-folder called "hand-history"

On reviewing the hand again, I agree that I may have played it badly, especially the turn by not raising.
On the turn though I tried to think what hands he could be potting it with. AAxx, flush draw + straight draw QdJdTx or something, AKxx (unlikely), bottom set?
Or possible complete air.
If I raise the turn I get quite a few of these hands to fold, and I was (overly?) suspicious that he could have AAxx and figure me for the big draw. Then again he was on tilt so I kept calling.

Results:

I call the river and my hand beats Villains 9967r, decent draw on the turn so he'd have stuck it in anyway had I raised.
Villain proceeded to drop another $600 or so but none to me unfortunately.
