THIN! (Part 5)

One of the joys of small-stakes 6-max games are the super LAG-tarded players that show up with alarming frequency. While most of the full-ring donkeys are more loose-passive, 6-max attracts the loose-aggressive donkeys. As with loose-passive players, thin and strong value betting is key to getting max profit out of these players. This particular donkey had been opening for 6x in probably 50% of all hands. 

Seat 1: HERO (BB) ($84.30)
Seat 3: MP ($204.15)

*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to HERO [Jh Kd]
MP raises to $3 
HERO raises to $12 (He makes his standard 6x open. I am ahead of his range with KJ-high. He has respected my c-bets a decent amount post-flop. At the same time, if I flop a pair, I will probably be getting all the money in.)
MP calls $9

*** FLOP *** [Qs 2d Kc]
HERO bets $15 (Golden flop. Unless he has KQ or 22, I have the nuts.)
MP calls $15

*** TURN *** [Qs 2d Kc] [4d]
HERO bets $57.30, and is all in (Great turn card, time to get max value out of a Q, a lower K, JT, or even something like AJ)
MP calls $57.30
HERO shows [Jh Kd]
MP shows
[9d Ks]

*** RIVER *** [Qs 2d Kc 4d] [Qd]
HERO wins the pot ($165.85) with two pair, Kings and Queens

K9 is gold!!!
