Quick Question....

$100NLHE at a casino. Villain is LAgg.


Me ($450) BB
Villain ($400) MP3


Entire table limps for $2, I look down at AA and I take it to $30. Villain is only caller.


Flop is K24 rainbow. I check to him. he bets $18. I raise to $100. He goes all-in.


Would any of you not call this?


Results below.
He shows K4 for 2 pair and takes it.

If it's a live game, were you looking for reads? Poor players like this tend to give off a shitload of easy tells.

If a guy is bad enough to call with K4 he is bad enough to go all in on a flop with a mediocre hand like AK, KQ, KJ et al.

I don't think there's anyway of getting away from this unless you get a good feeling he's got 22 or 44. Those are the only two hands I'd be worried about. But would he call (ordinarily) with those hands? I don't think so. I think AK or KQs are the only logical hands I could put him on, and thus I would call. He flips over K4? That's okay. Rebuy and take the fool's money the next time when he probably won't get so lucky.

Ok, I’ll show my ignorance. I can’t imagine calling that bet with K4 but if he was LP then he knows if he calls it is heads up. In heads up K4 isn’t really all that bad is it?
And once he has two pair the AI isn’t really a bad move is it? There are not too many hands that beat him. Please explain, I am new.

The $30 call, preflop is a long term loser with K4. Whatever he
wins with that hand he is sure to lose in the next couple of hours
if he keeps playing like that.

you were drawing very live on the flop. no way you can fold once the pot is that big. just lick your wounds and stick around for the moment when the guy repays you those chips you loaned him... with interest.

well, the reason i posted this is not a bad beat - because it wasnt. i thought of this as an interesting hand where a garbage hand somehow overcame the impossible and caught implied odds to take down a monster.

if you think about it, he put in most of his money when he was ahead. the reraise all-in was another 250+, so it was certainly considerable.


anyway, my reads on the guy were a perfect LAgg. i knew he didnt have KJ+ because he woulda raised preflop. he would also have raised with 22 or 44. in fact, ive seen him reraise with these hands just to isolate. funny thing is he did it against aces one time and lost his stack. i put him on Kx, with x being somewhat decent - probably a 10.


anyway, i was repping aces the whole way through, any decent player would know that. so i was just wondering about the play...if implied odds (on any 2 cards) with 2 players with deep stacks could make this play worthwhile.
