Default Live Hand

Live 20/40 game. Very loose aggro dude opens from 3 off the button. He's raising maybe 50% of the time though he could have any two here if he feels like it. He donks frequently with or without a piece/draw and if he does have a piece/draw he will often go up to 4 bets on the flop with it. He has also seemingly learned to balance this by fastplaying his big hands. Strange thing about him though is he actually folds the river too much. He will go to war with another laggy player with A-high or a PP only to fold it face up on the river if a couple scary cards hit. He can also make these types of folds on the turn sometimes. I know he folded a flush draw once for 2 turn bets in a pretty big pot because he "didn't think it was coming that time".

Next a nerdy and very excitable young TAG guy 3-bets from HJ. He is too tight and passive preflop (though he still has a reasonably wide range here because he knows how crazy the lag is). Postflop he is very predictable because he literally stands up and flips his chips in bocce style with both hands when he has something good. If he has a weaker hand or a tough decision he sits there and thinks for 10 seconds before acting.

I cap right behind them from CO with ThTc. BB who is loose preflop and weak/passive postflop calls 3 cold and we go to a flop 4-handed for 16.25 sb's.

Flop is 9d5d3d. BB checks, lag donks, tag stands, shouts "I raise" defiantly and flings 8 chips onto the table. First I consider folding, then 3-betting, then I decide to just call. BB folds and the lag calls. His call makes the Ad all but impossible along with a 9, an overpair, or a decent pair+diamond draw as he would 3-bet all of these. I think a weak pair or diamond is most likely for him.

Turn is an offsuit 5. Lag checks, tag bets, I raise. The lag agonizes for a little while then folds. Milliseconds later the tag guy has is jumping up and shouting "3 bets!", and milliseconds after that I am folding.
