This is early in the tourney. Opp has LAGGtard stats, something like 35/20/4.0 up to this point. Shove over on the flop or call and see what he does on the turn? Clearly he's FOS on the turn, right?

looks fine. I have a weird feeling he has something random like AA but I'd have to see it. Raising flop is probably OK since I can't see him folding any 8 or a draw but this is better I think in case he has nothing.

I don't like it when TARDS limp in suspicious spots and play for stacks in tiny pots. On the turn I assume his range is really polarized toward AA/54 and stupid crap like 87/K6.

I raise the flop.

One note - because a guy has 35/20 over the first 20 hands doesn't mean much. That's only 4 preflop raises and 3 other calls, including hands like this one. I often find myself with higher numbers early on because of a good string of hands early, so it's not necessarily a LAGGtard, not to mention he limped the small blind. A LAGtard by definition would raise your BB if folded around.

This is just as easily 22. He hits his miracle and donk shoves thinking that you're thinking that he's FOS on the turn. Or he could have A6 and just not believe you hit. Problem is, it's hard to play a raggy flop against a BB who checked behind because it so often hits you.

If you have seen him overbet like this already, then, yes, he's one of those idiots who takes 6 small pots and gets busted when someone finally hits top pair against him.

His aggression factor is high though (4.0) and generally you can pick up on that after just a few hands. I would probably snap this off.

Did you not expect this turn action with the flop over bet?

Well, pardon my ignorance, but could someone explain to me what these stats refer to, and how they are tracked (software)?

I feel like a nub.
