$200 NL HE Full Ring: Live $1/$2: 99 on low board facing river pressure

Action: MP2 limps at 9-handed table. BTN raises to $20. He is a very good LAG who can make good reads and he knows I am positionally aware. HE plays a wide range and certainly abuses his button and abuses the fact that I am to his left and am not calling many raises (effectively giving him position in a ton of hands). He is bigstacked and has me covered ($225, or about 112.5 BBs).

I call in the SB with 99, BB folds and MP2 calls.

Flop: :4s4::6h4::4c4:

Pot is $61 and I bet $40. MP2 folds, BTN calls.

Turn: :10h4:
Hero checks, BTN bets $50, hero calls $50
Pot: $241

River: :3s4:

Hero checks, BTN bets $100, hero has $115 behind and folds getting more than 3-1.

I really dislike donking the flop. The "protection" that we get from 6 outers is so heavily outweighed by the fact that villain can out play us so easily. He can raise ATC (and I assume we aren't bet/calling), flat intending to take the pot away later... or even less, we lose a CBet out of him if he folds overs.

What if he does CBet his overs?

Ok if he doesn't he doesn't. Bet a safe turn then. If he hits 6 outs he hits 6 outs

As played my action would be determined by how villain would play overpairs on this flop when donked into and to some extent how willing he is to double barrell when it appears we have a medium strength hand

I like check/call flop, bet/fold the turn. Bet/fold the river if he flats the turn. You're good here very often vs a liberal isolator, I think. No need to shut it down until he says he's got a better hand with a raise.

Take the initiative away from him as well as set the price/size of the pot. Costs you less if you're beat in the (I think) rare chance that you are here. If he's got like J4 or some other b.s. well, chalk it up, and play the next hand, haha.

The above line only works if MP folds. I think you're in a tough spot if he calls after you. I would shut down if that happens.
