5-5NL
Me: covers table.
LAG: $900
very bad player: $1600
i open to $30 w/trash UTG, LAG calls, then VBP makes it $100 on top. I call, LAG calls. I have a TAG image.
Flop: ($400) Q  - 9 - x. VBP amazingly checks, i bet $250, LAG quickly folds and then VBP takes his time, picks up his cards high into the air, then as he's about to fold, he cuts $250 and throws them in.
Turn: ($900) 10
he checks again, i push.

im gonna guess your trash doesn't have two diamonds in it :D
dont know if i like it, im wondering what your definition of a very bad player is here ... it could actually make this a poor move, since he might call with his gutshotted straight, a diamond in his hand, a pair, two pair, etc ... the only thing he doesnt call with for sure is ace high
he might not be noticing that you're a tight-aggro player if hes very bad, which is key to this hand i think ... you can't bluff a player that isnt thinking
of couse then you also have to wonder, what does his 'fake-fold' mean
i dunno ... lol ... /pointless rant

his fake folding looked genuine as he is a bad player.
He is this bad. Board: Q -8- 2- 3- 6, rainbow. I bet half-pot on the turn, he calls. I bet half-pot on the river, he min-check-raised the river w/a pair of queens. I showed him top set.
My friend thinks a bet of $600 is better but I don't like it. If i do that, i'll have to bluff the last $700 on teh river anyway so why not just apply full pressure now.
My hand looks a lot like AA/KK w/the diamond in it.
