your available tools are:

1. lead
2. check/call - lead turn
3. check raise
4. check/fold

your best bet is a balanced attack

Yup. Mix it up. Check/fold is obviously the default but a few times each session, based on player reads and table dynamics (i.e. how tight I've been playing etc) I'll do one of these other things.

If he's a LAG I'd be less likely to lead into him because sometimes that just repop it because they'll immediatly assume you are FOS for leading into them (so do this with sets).
