1. call?
2. What are you putting LeFou on here? You have no real history with him.

I'm betting the flop in ova568's place, but regardless...

I'm putting you on AQ/KQ and you paired-up on the turn.

And no I'm not calling...

I may pay off lefou here with 99 if I have no history with him. I would have to find out he's tricky the hard way.

70% set/AA/AQ 30% bluff

id call if i was feeling frisky.

I bet flop. If called, check behind on turn. If raised, I fold.
I fold turn to check-raise.
On the river I punch myself in the head for being a donk and fold.

I peg LeFou as a donk for raising 3x with blinds so low and 2 limpers in front. AA, KK are a concern. AK, AQ or 55+ are also possible. If so it's played poorly and I hope I get to play another hand with him to take the chips back before someone else knocks him out.

Hm.
If the cards are AK, AQ, 55+ they were played poorly
If they were played well, what are they?

hmm. I like a raise preflop at a tight table. As played, flop should be an auto-bet for our hero here. Lol, only half the deck are scare cards, if not more...

I fold this river in hero's place. I like a dump to the turn c/r too. Betting the flop just makes things so much easier. Villain's (LeFou's) line of raise from BB, check flop, c/r turn, push river should just send of alarm bells all over the place.

LeFou, regardless of the cards, should absolutely raise more preflop if he chooses to do so.

I can't think of anything.

I raise more pre-flop, I c-bet that flop with AQ, KQ, set, occasionaly a flush draw to prevent a flush draw, also to see if anyone likes it. I don't check the turn if I like it because it's possible he checks behing again.

Maybe I can't think outside the box. Unless you have a read that says Hero likes to check when ahead, bet when possibley behind, it looks very poor. If that's your read it doesn't matter the hand.

...

On second thought heros play looks weak pre-flop, weak post-flop, steal then weak on turn. But again, if LeFou is playing that then it doesn't matter what hero has.

Like Lukie said, this splashing of chips sets off alarms. Unless Hero has a read that LeFou likes to do this alot, then I might call.
