Re: starting standards when playing behind an aggressive player?
When you decide to play a hand - reraise the LAG.
You want to get heads-up with him because you have the better hand most of the time preflop.
That is, unless you have a hand that plays well in a multiway-pot (suited connecters). Then you only call, and hope for limpers.
If you can isolate him by re-raising, then you re-raise with any cards that is better than his. If he raises with Kx suited, you re-raise with Ax suited.... If you don't hit the flop, close your eyes and call him down anyway.
If the other players at the table find out what you are doing and start entering the raised pots, then you'll have to tighten up.
good luck
