Bad idea?
Villain is 74/19/.8
What hand do you put the villain on after she raises the turn? Anyone comfortable laying the river down?

Laying down TPGK, in a big pot, against one LAG opponent, for 1 bet can not possibly be correct.

Who knows? This person sees 3/4 of all flops and raises everything that remotely looks playble. You can't put this person on a hand. But the *range* of hands that this person would play this way will probably include a lot of hands that your pair of Qs with K kicker beats. Also, check raising the turn after the flop was checked through is really trying too hard to say "I have a hand". If they really had a hand, they'd bet out the turn fearing that it will get checked through again.

Anyway, I would bet the flop with 2 overcards + BDFD, bet out the turn, and now if you're still raised you can slow down.

Given the action, the LAG can believe that you are weak and may fold. When you tell a LAG that bluff may work, you have to withstand a little more heat. Folding is right out.

Why? Your attempt to isolate has failed. You are out of position and very likely do not have the best hand. You are also extremely unlikely to win the pot with a bet, and certainly cannot hope of folding a hand like AK / AQ right now.

You tried to isolate and your play was foiled. At this point, playing your hand straightforward and checking is reasonable.

On the turn my 3-bet goes in the pot and I feel more comfortable calling down if he caps it.
