Isolate LAG w/ 77
 

Whatchoo think of this? Villain is 64/20/3 only after about 50 hands. Loves to donk and goes to showdown like always. Is this going too far?

I just call down from the flop. I may be wrong, but the way you beat maniacs is by getting to showdown with hands that have showdown value (which 77 does have), and punishing them huge with your solid hands (which, on this board, 77 is not).

Call down from the flop. You're a 3-2 dog against pokerstove's top 20% of hands.

I only disagree with the flop raise.

Re: Isolate LAG w/ 77
 

If I had been watching the hands he plays like this, I may be willing to fold the turn here. 64/20/3 still leaves a lot to the imagination.

However, call/call/call is a safer and more multi-table friendly line.

i think this is unanimous

You beat nothing except high cards on that flop, So call it down or fold.
I dont like the flop raise.

Preflop is good.

Agreed. Thanks for the responses.

Results: LAG had 66 and MHIG.

Preflop: Just call. 20% pfr is not that high. He could have a better pocket pair than you or two overcards.

Flop: Fold. However, when it comes back you for one more, call.

Turn: Fold

Hmmm, he really is a LAG. Disregard what I said above and call him down in similar situations. If you bust him a few times, he will probably slow down against you though, and you will probably want to adapt your strategy as he adapts his towards you.
