SB is LA-A but not too many hands on him, about 25-30. I don't know exactly how to play this correctly.

I don't like getting in raising battles with ace-high, no kicker versus a LAG, so I would probably just call the flop, with the idea of maybe calling down unimproved, unless the board got too scary.
The rest seems okay to me, but, annoyingly, the LAG probably checkraised the turn because he just made aces up. That's my guess, anyway, and I'm kind of expecting to be shown A5. |

[/ QUOTE ] Thanks for the advice. Wow, very nice analysis. He did indeed have A5. How could you tell? |

If he's tricky he will check-raise the turn as a pure Ace bluff so you can't put anything on the villian if he is. I would call down a habitual check-raise bluffer but not one that doesn't check-raise as a bluff. If he can semi-bluff a check raise and you don't think he's completed a hand, you call the river too, which I think you do anyway if you call the turn. This is the only instance I would not fold to a LAG with this type of action.

I was actually almost inclined to check through the turn and call/bet the river. The check was really creepy from him.

If you intend to raise anything on the flop why don`t you 3-bet him preflop.

Hey guys,
I like to call preflop and raise the flop because I can represent a wider range of hands. If I 3-bet preflop and low(er) cards hit, I can't really bluff the flop. So I have tended to look at 3-betting in the BB vs. a steal as an edge pushing thing, when I think I have the best hand preflop. Otherwise I like to call and take a stab at the flop. Why is it better to 3-bet preflop when you don't have that great a hand? |

I think you should 3bet or fold preflop.
