Hey Jaran, haven't seen you for a while.

I thought about raising but figured that the overcall would be better. If the LAG is full of it then he's not calling, and the calling station is much more likely to call one than two. Or are you thinking along the lines that you only go for overcalls with a strong hand and you want to raise it with a weak hand?

Been really busy with grad school apps, work and homework, so not a lot of time.

My thinking was something along that line. What I'm really thinking about is that we probably have BB beat a good majority of the time. The unknown is the SB. He could have a hand that beats us, we could have him crushed, we just don't know because of his passiveness. If there is a chance that he will fold a hand like A5, A8 here if we face him with two cold, I'm willing to risk a 3bet from the BB. But I could be waaaaaay off [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].
