AKs on turn with A3QQ board

SB in this hand was a fairly typical LAGgy and overly tricky .5/1 player.

On the turn, should I just fold when SB wakes up? In these types of situations with a tricky opponent I think I tend to suspect a bluff a little bit too much. Should I raise and fold to a 3-bet? Call down and call a river bet? Just fold, since the pot is quite small? As I've said, in this situation I had a feeling SB was bluffing, so (disregarding the fact that my feeling may be a big leak itself for now) I think now I lean towards raising here instead of calling, and folding to a 3-bet.

Hey deathpotato (what the hell does that mean?),
I think calling down against a lag here is fine HU. If UTG+1 had not folded, I would like a raise here.

This is good against a tricky player. Against a dumb LAG, you need to raise the river IMO,

Damn beat me to it. Against this type of player a river raise is much better than a turn raise but you have to be able to fold to a 3 bet. If you can't do that just call down.

I agree that a river raise is better than a turn raise. What I am unsure about is if folding to a 3-bet is correct. How far will he take his bluff. Once you fold to the 3-bet he could pull this move on you all day...right?? I think you decide to call it down or go all the way at least untill I know my opponents play better. Who disagrees with me.

this hand is quite simple, if you're up against a tricky LAG you call down.

if he's bluffing, let him bluff, if he's value betting a weaker hand, well, then you can think about raising somwhere, but this whole talk about folding to a 3-bet really depends on just how LAG and tricky this guy is. against normal players, the standard procedure is to usually fold, but against these types of players you can never be too sure. generally the trickier the player, the more inclined you should be to call down, especially if he's also a good thinking player. that said, there's no shame in calling this dude down and making notes about it in future hands.
