Preflop: Hero is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG calls, 5 folds, Hero raises, 1 fold, BB calls, UTG calls.

Flop: (6.50 SB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)
BB bets, UTG folds, Hero calls.

Turn: (4.25 BB) J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
BB bets, Hero raises, BB 3-bets, Hero calls.

River: (10.25 BB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
BB bets, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 12.25 BB

BB was a LAG over 150 hands. In situations when I have 2 overcards to the flop plus an inside straight draw- would it be better to call or raise the flop? Or even fold.

Please stop posting so many hands. How can we have any good discussion on any one in particular when you post 12 at a time?

You didnt have inside straight draw. Im no pro but i think this is fine against lag.

Just so you know, you don't have an inside straight draw here. You've got an inside draw to a straight draw, and that's worthless.

Raise the flop if it helps drive people out of the pot. In this case, you're already heads-up against the bettor; raising just loses you more chips.

Raise the turn, call the reraise - you did that just right.

On the river, you should be betting/raising a blank card. Since this is the third to a flush, calling makes sense.

I hope you recognize that at the river you're probably behind more than 50% of the time here, but that your call makes sense because you win this hand much more than 10% of the time.
