Caught between a big lag and a little lag

[Aaron W.]

Big Lag is 38/32/5.7 and has been trying to 'teach' the table something ("Watch and learn" he says -- and subsequently needed to reload) and Little Lag is relatively new to the table so I don't have good stats yet - he's not crazy, but certainly a little loose and a little agressive.

I'm not so sure about the preflop 3-bet (but I think it's good), and I'm not quite sure about betting out on the flop (as Big Lag will bet anything when checked to).

After it's just me and little lag, I don't know if I should squeeze in a raise somewhere or stay passive.

I like this whole hand by you.

Since you don't respect either pf raiser I like the 3 bet. You probably have the best hand.

The turn raise sure looks like he's betting a scare card as a bluff but you have to think he's more than 50% likely to be bluffing for a raise to be profitable from here on out.

nice hand

I don't think he is bluffing the required 50%+, prob around half that, easy call down UI

Agree this is good play. Very aggressive when you probably have the best hand. On the K, I would also call em em down if they are habitual bluffers when they sense doubt or weakness.
