Re: Beating a bad LAG
The responses to this thread demonstrate why playing LAG in these games is such a great style: people don't know how to make the correct adjustment.
If he's raising with all sorts of junk, then you want to be re-raising him to isolate him in position. It's great that he always calls your re-raise because it basically becomes free money for you at this point - it's hard to hit flops in hold 'em. When he checks just bet pot.
To beat this guy you want to be check raising, raising and re-raising him liberally. He'll so often be out of line in any pot he plays that you'll take the pot down frequently.
Playing tight is NOT the way to beat LAGs -- good or bad.
