Scenario 3
Villain is a big LAG. He has more guts than judgment. He plays too many hands. He bluffs too often and in bad spots, but he is good at picking off bluffs by opponents. He is capable of folding if he feels he is beat, but he is also capable of betting/raising all-in with the nuts, air, or something in between. He can be tricky at times and is difficult to put on a hand.

If Hero's 2/3 flop lead is raised by Scenarion 3 Villain, I am 3 betting. Villain is LAG and tricky, so I can't really tell what his hand is, but I'm way ahead of his range. That said, there are 15 cards that scare me on the turn, and I'm gonna have a hard time folding if any of them hit.
Because of this, I feel that just calling Villain's raise is giving up much in the way of implied odds. My plan is to cut down on the implied odds that I'm giving by getting more of my stack in while I am ahead of his range.
