Do we do it? I just lost a match after having the lead over a LAG donk who was clearly getting frustrated after losing so many big pots, and he shoved his 900 chip stack with KQ at 15/30 and I called with A9. Queen hit, whatever. Versus these types of players - the type who eventually beat you by chasing their gutshot to the river - should we just wait to take it to the flop and have them make their mistakes there rather than flipping 30 BBs with an ace?

Assign him a range, if he's tilty you'll often have very favorable equity with A9 in that spot and it should be a good call.

Thanks Ry (and Primo who answered in his 2p2 well thread). I guess it did end up being a good call, just bad result.
