I think you're in front. Mr LAG sounds like one of those players who will bet and raise hard when he hasn't got anything, but will go for the checkraises, slowplays and other 'tricky' moves when he's got a good hand. I also have the nagging suspicion that he has a pocket pair between 6 and 8. MP is your classic pot padder who will let you know when he's got a hand. Raise it up, as the pot is getting big and you want to give yourself every chance to win it. If they call, that's fine too of course. If another paint or a 3 falls on the river then I'm either checking behind or calling. If anything else hits the board then I think a value bet would be in order.

By the way, how are your confidence levels lately? I only ask as I've noticed that you've been putting yourself down a bit with your posts. It's not a boring hand and you don't play bad.
