Sometimes is doesn't pay to be a LAG, sometimes it does

Lagging it up on the $2 tables on stars, just because I'm bored. By lag, I mean idiotic lag, as in raising any 2 in any position but UTG if nobody raises before it gets to me and figuring out how to take down the pot. I do that for 10 minutes, then play quasi-normal lag, raising only connectors or 2 big cards if the action is weak to me.

If I get called, I always bet 1/2 pot on the flop. After that, I play normal poker.

Again, I do this because I was bored, not because I think I'm particularly good at it. But it does lead to some interesting situations. Remember, $2 tables.

Hand 1
I've been crazy lagging it up and am up to ~$12 on the table. I cover everyone, but a few have over $7. I get KK in the BB. MP who likes to play back at me raises to .12. LP who also likes to play back at me makes it .60. I raise to 8.88.

Both call. :shock:

Flop a rainbow but has 2 9's. MP called off 350BB with T9 suited and LP called off 300BB with AK offsuit. Oh well, easy come, easy go.

Hand 2
Different table, different villian. I have ~$6 on the table and villain directly opposite me has $8, most of which he got sucking out on me several rounds ago. He also likes to play back at me.

Mucho limpers to me and I raise to .10 in SB with 22. Couple callers including villain.

Flop has a beautiful 2 in it along with 2 hearts and only one high card (a Jack). I bet my usual half-pot. Villain raises to $.40. ORLY? I call.

Turn is a beautiful, beautiful J. I overbet the pot. Villain pushes with J6. NO 6 NO 6 NO 6 and the river brings me the pot. ;)
