JUST WHEN I THOUGHT I WAS OUT... THEY PULL ME BACK IN



2 hands played simultaneously on 2 separate tables this morning.

SB is 21/14 over 148 hands. Likes to showdown (37%). BTN is 53/11 fish who's a bit aggro postflop. Iso appears at least semi-strong and we have 15 to 1 implied odds to see a flop IP vs the PFR... plus I expect the fish to come along. Is raising the flop bad with fish left to act? When SB just calls I figure him for AA, KK, QQ, AJ, KJ, JJ. Don' think he isos pre with J9 or QT. I don't think he C/R turn with an overpair or AJ so his range is squarely KJ and JJ (although I wouldn't be completely stunned to see if he's getting cute with a QT or being stubborn with AK since um, yeah... it's 2NL). More combos of KJ than JJ so chalking this one up as a cooler.

This hand was going on at the exact same time as the one above on my other table. Villain is a 41/20 aggro fish who has a fold to cbet IP of 0% and wtsd of 59%. Good god no reason to slowplay here ever. Time to shovel the money in. Thought about over-betting the flop actually but just opted for the pot/pot/shove standard line.
