JT Won't Need LAGs to Stand

Don't try to outlag the lag. You likely have an equity edge against his range on the flop so jam. Be ok with checkcalling the turn if you miss I think, but I would have just 3bet the flop. The river action depends on how he plays 8s 5s and A high. If he bets those than check, if he checks them then bet.

I agree about outlagging the lag. I guess I kind of wanted to send a message about him not trying to push me around, but there's really no reason to think he'd even notice.

3betting the flop is best I think. I'd check call the turn only if he capped the flop, otherwise I'd bet because he's folded so much. Against a guy who always sees a river, i agree with check calling.

Anyway, he showed 7c4c. This was a silly hand.

in that case then i like 3betting the flop and leading the turn. you invest less bets and you put in more money when you equity is less low.

I would guess I have the better hand.

I agree this is a very silly hand. Putting someone on exactly two cards below a J is quite silly, and not 3-betting the flop in order to get an immediate fold is even sillier. Especially if your alternate plan involves putting in 2BB with J high on the next street.

In fairness, I wasn't putting him exactly on that. I was just guessing that he'd be 3betting most pairs, most aces, most kings. Some bigger queens. I would think I'm ahead of his range.

Point taken about the flop/turn action though. I think my line actually makes it less likely that he'll fold. But it was fun, so there is that.
