Default Interesting spot with A3o against an aggressive bluffer

MP posts a dead SB and a BB. It's folded to me in the SB and I raise A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. The very LAGgy BB calls. Three players fighting over 6.5 SB.

Flop: K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
I bet, BB raises, MP folds

What's our plan? Post reasoning please. I'm curious. Thank you.

My plan is to just let it go. Do we have anymore info than aggressive bluffer? Anything specific to make me want to reconsider just folding.

Jason, if he has a strong draw but the worst current hand, he's about break even with you on the flop. Even with a gutshot he's not really in bad shape. Combine that with the probability of him having a pair, or pocket pair, better ace high, and you're in bad shape. If you call him down with this hand, you will be paying off his legitimate hands too often.

Also, have you seen him use the free card play at all? Or will he make a follow up turn bet in position?

So if we continue the hand, we should really try to move him off his hand. Were you considering a turn c/r? You didn't really provide any read that would tell us if it's possible. I don't have much experience with bluffing lags, but I often regret it when I try.

Could you explain how you play it at 2c/4c, 3/6 and 300/600 ?

I´m curious as of what the difference is here.

couple lines here IMO...

the standard is obv call, c/r turn and induce river bluff. this play is practically my whole winrate, lol..

new one i learned about, tagged the 'baronzeus'... 3-bet here and c/r the turn and river. haven't tried it out but its prob a good line at these megaggro games

my hidden trick is to 3-bet and then go in for my stack on the turn if there's no cap HU... depends on the site obv. if there's a cap i'll just muck the flop. you've only got a high.

At higher limit games you'll obv see more aggression with no-pair or draws so you would be more likely to call down. I agree with the sentiment.

JT,

You can keep taking shots at him with gimmick accounts, but sooner or later you're going to have to admit that the reason you're losing is that you aren't good at poker.
