Pock K vs LAG (32/29/6 over 75 hands)

$0.25/$0.5 No Limit Holdem
6 players
Converted at weaktight.com


Stacks:
UTG
($91.40)
Hero
($80.15)
CO
($44.95)
BTN
($57.10)
SB
($26.90)
BB
($14.10)

Pre-flop: ($0.75, 6 players) Hero is UTG+1

UTG raises to $1.75, Hero raises to $6, 4 folds, UTG calls $4.25

Standard raise vs Lag who I think can hand read. UTG was running at 32/29/6 over 75 hands. (I wasn't focus on his stats at the time. A leak of mine)

Flop: ($12.75, 2 players)
UTG checks, Hero checks

I check behind trying to be tricky and for pot control because we were over 150 deep. I didn't want to play for stacks with just an over pair. He could had done this with 22-10, AQo, KQo, JQo or just caled preflopl and try to outplay me post flop with nothing. He could also be on a flush draw and check raise me off my hand.
Turn: ($12.75, 2 players)
UTG bets $8, Hero calls $8

I call for pot control. I could raise but he would just fold all hands he would be doing this with.

River: ($28.75, 2 players)
UTG checks

Should I bet thinly (how much?) or check behind? We are both over 150bb deep

I like a bet on this flop. I think checking here with the intention to be tricky is just FPS. I have always been told to go with TPTK or an overpair in a 3-bet pot about 90% of the time, with exceptions to me being hands like 1010 on a rag flop when I did not 3-bet, situations like that may be different. However, this also pertains IMO to 100BB stacks, not ~ 200. As played, I don't see a good LAG checking an A or a 7 here. I would be something like $12 into this pot, hoping to get called with a Q.

Btimm,

I think this is FPS. In one of Brian Townsends video, he said to just keep betting until Villain shows you he can check raise flops. I hadn't seen him c/r yet so I should had betted.

I also agree that a good lag wouldn't check a 7 or A on the river. He probably puts me on a missed flush draw or a river tpgk.

I contemplated betting between $15-$20 for value on the river. At the time, I just felt he wouldn't call me with a Q.

In hindsight, I gotta make this thin value bet. My hand looks like tptk or a miss flush draw.

I checked behind and villain showed Q10o.

Bet, bet, check.

Bet flop 100%. Youll bet that with air for sure so you definitely need to bet it with KK. When you check behind youre repping a decent hand with showdown value. Getting tricky at 100nl will cost you. Straightforward, ABC TAG poker wins the bills.

Is switching the time of the sweats on Monday to 6:30 okay with you? This seems to work better for Ian, it is 5 hours later over there, so starting at 8 is really 1 am over there.
