Flop situation against a LAG

[jrobb83]

Opponent is vpip 53% pfr 34% after 52 hands and is aggressive post flop.

Party 10/20 4 handed

I openraise 7/images/graemlins/spade.gif7/images/graemlins/diamond.gif on the button and are called by LAG in the BB.

Flop: Q/images/graemlins/spade.gif9/images/graemlins/heart.gif6/images/graemlins/club.gif
LAG bets, I...

And if I don't fold, what's my line of play throughout the hand?

IF I play on I will just call it down from here unless the board gets much worse. If I just play doggo he will keep betting so he will get no free cards. If I am behind I lose least. If I am ahead and get aggressive then either he will play back and as he is a LAG it will be difficult to know what to do and I may make a mistake OR he may fold!

However, with a small pot it is tempting to fold. Let him have this small victory if he is indeed bluffing you and wait till you get a better flop.

My line would depend what had happened recently /images/graemlins/smile.gif and how he had been reacting specifcally to MY aggression.

I'm seeing showdown w/ 77 HU against this guy every time. I'd raise the flop and if he plays back then I'd call down. If he doesn't play back, I'd keep betting.

Thanks for the relplies. When I played this hand I did't fully realize the extent of his LAGness. If I had I would have called down the entire way. The way I played it was I raised the flop and folded to a 3-bet, which I think is terrible.

Depending on the LAG's profile, I don't think the line you took is so bad. But, I'd probably just fold and wait for a better spot to go to war.
