1/2 hand against whos_your_daddy

AmarilloFats

Villain seems to be killing the 1/2 party games at teh mo. I have avoided sitting with him but I have alot of PT stats on him now and there are 2 very poor players at the table....
So read oin him bar his stats...

Villain has a vpip of 55% and pfr 33%. Not often players withthese stats are winners but he seems to make it work.
I have 270 he has 200
He makes $6 UTG
Folded to me in BB with AK, I make it 24, he calls.

Flop - A J 4, twotone.
I lead for 40..I minraises me..I push!!Standard considering relative stacks??

I like a call, and shove a non-flush turn.

What does he minraise with?

Min raise would set alarm bells off in my head.....

He raised UTG - although pfr is high he must have a reasonable hand.....

I hate the minraise actually, a flush draw would call your bet why would he reraise unless he is trying to get more chips in.. I feel he has a strong hand and is not drawing......

he cud have AJ,JJ....

personally I feel its a tough one....because his range is so wide even UTG......
not sure how I'd play it...probably call min raise.....and play turn accordingly....

judging by his stats he is a LAG.
now lags don’t minraise good hands cuz they dont need to.their whole style is based on betting big when they have a big hand because they know chances are they will get paid cuz they are at it all the time with nothing.
A lot of them would just check/call if they get any of the flop, but I have seen some of them min raise here with second pair, or TPNK.
Having said that I don’t like a push here with just one pair.your either miles a head or miles behind in which case he will fold if he is behind and call if he can beat your TPTK.
I take a more defensive line here and go in to check/call mode but pushing is not all that bad either really.

Gholi - with a twotone twobroadway flop, you are not always miles ahead or miles behind.

I've never played with him before, my stats are just from mining tables. He has only played one orbit at this table.
Anyway I pushed. He called, I really expected to see AK when he called.....HE HAD AJ(top 2) yuck. So that's how he builds those mongo stacks...
BTW if it was a rainbow flop I call his raise and look to get allin on turn.

If he is good, and I think he is, with only a 100BB stack is he really minraising with a hand I beat....??
But likewise, with only 100BB can I really get away from any raise on that flop considering his laggyness????
Does anyone raise more preflop?
