playing in the blinds with a LAG

[Joe826]

Lets say your opponent raises from any position, except the blinds, 80-90% of the time. He'll keep betting post-flop if you show no aggression, but is able to fold if played back at.

What range of hands do you call with in the BB if he raises and it's folded to you? The SB? Which do you 3-bet with?

A PFR of 80 - 90 hardly constitues a LAG -- you're in full blown maniac territory.

I play a lot of my hands against someone like this, especially from the big blind. And my postflop play frequently goes call-call-call. When I hit a strong hand it goes bet-3bet-call-the-cap until he stops betting or folds.

Thanks, but "a lot" doesn't exactly constitute a range. What's the worst you'll play?

[Catt]

Any A; any K; most Qs; any two broadways; most connectors; unsuited 1-gappers down to about 97o; suited 2 and 3 gappers down to about 8 high; seriously -- a ton of hands. If he is truly raising 80% - 90%, then we might play the top 50% - 60% of all possible hands from the blinds (OOP). I need to see what he's raising and what he's showing down. My range tightens back up if it's not HU.
