interesting live hand

[bl]

Hey all,

Since cashing out I've been playin a little more live. This was a hand from a couple weeks ago.

NL cash 1-2 blinds. Stacks are between 150 and 400. I have 200.

The table is pretty LAG. I catch KK in MP and make it 15. One caller behind and 2 in front. Flop is AJx with 2 hearts. My Kings are black.

I c bet 40 and get called twice. Once by the guy behind me once in front. Blank on the turn. Checked to me so I ask the guy behind me how much he has. He says 140. I check. He checks.

River is a blank. Board is now AJ473. checked to me, I check, villian bets 50 and other guy folds.

I thought I knew what he had so I called.

Any guesses?

Well you wouldn't call if you didn't think you had him beat, he has exactly the jack of diamonds and the ten of hearts.

I know a few things about LAGs:
1) They ALWAYS play A-anything.
2) They won't fold A2 when an ace falls.
3) They won't let you have a cheap showdown.

Those 3 facts are enough for me to check and fold when one of them bets. Betting KK is usually a good move, but definitely not here. No matter how sexy KK looks, it can win and LOSE just like 27 offsuit.

Likely has KJo, second pair with whatever kicker, or a crap Ace. Possible busted flush draw.

I thought he had KhJh. I called he flipped KhQh.

he was VERY pissed he didn't reraise the flop big and he was right. I would have folded to heat on the flop but why on earth would he smooth call on that board with AQ or something? he wouldn't.

nice read.

in a vacuum, seems like a tough call for me.

He's getting like 4:1 on his call, and it does look like a bluff or a monster. Cheap enough to look him up. Feel a bit shitty about it, but it's a call given the play.
