2/4 NL
My opponent and I both have about $400. We've been in a buch of hands. He's LAG.

I'm dealt AKo on the button. Couple of limpers. I raise to $20. Only LAG opponent calls.

FLOP $50
JQA rainbow

LAG checks. I check.

TURN $50
JQAJ rainbow

LAG checks. I check.

RIVER
JQAJJ

LAG bets $50. I call. LAG shows KT for the flopped nut straight. My running full house wins :)

I just knew.

Why is there any value in raising here?

Any ace will call you to split. the jack will put you all in.

He'll fold any non-ace, non-jack hand (unless he's a complete muppet)

He obviously IS a complete muppet. How can a LAG check the nut straight on the flop but then bet when any pair has him beat?

I guess he thought Kenny had TT and wouldnt call?

Don't underestimate the muppet-ness of players in general geewhiz. I've seen people pay off raises in situations like these with 33. Sometimes with worse.
