 Here's why I often like LAGGs more than passive fish. I hate not knowing if a fish is drawing to some wierd straight or calling down with any pair and waiting to raise me when they hit on the river.

PokerStars 2/4 Hold'em (9 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Preflop: Hero is CO with K, J.
5 folds, Hero raises, Button 3-bets, 2 folds, Hero calls.

Flop: (7.50 SB) 6, J, 2 (2 players)
Hero bets, Button calls.

Turn: (4.75 BB) 4 (2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets, Hero raises, Button calls.

River: (8.75 BB) 8 (2 players)
Hero bets, Button folds.

Final Pot: 9.75 BB


Then in contrast here's a silly fish that I should be able to pin on the hand he's representing but I call down anyways

PokerStars 2/4 Hold'em (9 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Preflop: Hero is Button with A, J.
1 fold, UTG+1 calls, 3 folds, CO calls, Hero raises, 1 fold, BB calls, UTG+1 calls, CO calls.

Flop: (8.50 SB) T, T, J (4 players)
BB checks, UTG+1 checks, CO checks, Hero bets, BB calls, UTG+1 folds, CO calls.

Turn: (5.75 BB) 7 (3 players)
BB checks, CO checks, Hero bets, BB raises, CO folds, Hero calls.

River: (9.75 BB) K (2 players)
BB bets, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 11.75 BB

Results in white below:
BB has Tc 3c (three of a kind, tens).
Hero has Ac Jc (two pair, jacks and tens).
Outcome: BB wins 11.75 BB.

BB would have to be a VERY passive and straightforward player for me to fold in hand 2. I just see people semi-bluff with a straight or flush draw here too often. Then add in that a lot of people will wait for the turn to raise QJ or KJ and you've gotta call down to see.

That was pretty much my thinking too. I hadn't played that guy much, no notes on him. I was being rather aggressive, and in his spot I would have check reraised with QJ,KJ or maybe even something silly like 99 or 88 with a gutshot draw if I suspected the raisor for AQ or AK.
