Giving up small pots - theoretical question

[Lurker4]

if this LAG will give you so much action when he doesn't even have a pair, why not just pair-mine as Subfallen said and just do this when flop any kind of reasonable made hand? if you can get 4BB in postflop (1 on flop, 2 on turn, 1 on river) with something as weak as 98 here, then don't worry about the small pots you are potentially giving up by check/folding what may be the best hand but where it will be expensive to find out in a small pot.
