1/3 game, villain sitting on my left is a 5/10 LAG pro waiting for a seat at the higher stakes. Super nice guy; I really enjoyed chatting with him, although I'd much rather our positions be reversed.
Anyway, OTTH:
Hero is the effective stack with around $500.
Maniacal donkey opens in EP to $20, I call in the CO with 89hh, pro calls. Everyone else folds. Pot is $60.
Flop is T 6 2 with 2 diamonds. Donk checks, I check, pro bets $40, donk calls, I call. Pot is $180.
Turn is the 6 of clubs which makes the board double suited. Donk checks, I check, pro bets $120, donk folds (yes this donk does have a fold button - he's usually either betting and raising stupid amounts with stupid hands, or folding, rarely calling passively; and if he does, he's likely folding the next street. I've seen donk 3-bet with 72o probably just because he thinks it's funny, so when he chose not to cbet this flop, **** knows why, he's inconsistent. I've seen this pro bet quite aggressively against the donk, and just aggressive in general especially on turn cards that make a big hand.)
Hero can't call here, but we can check-raise all-in and rep the 6. I felt overcalling the fish on this flop with 2nd pair is credible, considering the pro could be positional betting with air.
The double flush board is bad though - we can get called by a flush draw even if the pro believes we have a 6. But we're still never drawing dead, and I think that the pro is double barreling air here frequently enough.
