Fold it man. Low pair and trips beats you here and you're encouraging him to take turn shots at you later, which is good when you make your hands, as long as he's not maniac.

I'd have to lay them down too; but do not know if I would be able to in your shoes. I guess it depends on how loose you read him as. I'm thinking pocket he has trips or he has very, very little.

Top pair is often good against a LAgg in 6max.

Personally, I fold preflop becuase the last thing I want is a bigger pot with KTo.

I don't like him springing to life on the turn. My guess would be a diamondless AK or KK. I fold on the river.

Did he minraise preflop with any frequency at the table?

If I'm not folding preflop I'm folding on the river.

You've got the 3 straight and the 3 flush out there, and since he is LAggy it is a little hard to put him on a hand, therefore I'd go with the assumption that I am beat and fold.

What does LAggy mean? Can somebody describe a LAggy player's style?

Loose Aggressive. Lots of raises with a multitude of hands.

Fold it...
Or did you think he just tried to raise you out with his large stack?


His hand: AK or KK or maybe the flush on the flop with AQs or something.

He dominates you with ALOT of hands here, and KTo is a pretty shitty hand if you ask me. I think the $10 turn-call was a bad one, but if you believed he just tried to raise you out (depending on his pre-play) maybe you could go the hole way? But thats a tough and dangorus read!

As I said, I would have folded!

I love the feel of Hold'em control...

Shorthanded, LAggs raise with a lot of silly hands.

elipsesjeff is an unknown quantity at this point
 Edit: Damn you 6 max, you get me again.

You have to fold on the river here, You have a crap kicker and its likely that a KJ or KQ will just call a preflop raise.

Would you believe he had :Qc: :Qs: ?

He did. I called and took down a huge pot.

It was a very fishy play by me though. I agree that I should have folded preflop, and then folded the river.

You've got to play strong at the Party Poker 6-max tables, but that being said, this call was way too loose. Lately I have been making a lot more calls like this because I thought I was playing too weak, and to be honest I don't think it has worked out very well, other than this hand. I've been on a huge slide and calls like this are the reason why.

Yes, but it was "just a feeling".
