Flop decision w/ ATs

My first reaction was to raise. Then I realized that's because I've started playing 6-max, and that's what I would do in a 6-max game. I would raise and see what fell on the turn. "But this is full ring. SB is betting heads up into the pfr. Just fold and fight another day."

But then I remembered that 6-max is still poker, and a big part of it is taking advantage of more marginal situations. Those lessons are to be used in full-ring games as well.

As such, raise. If 3-bet, fold the turn without improvement. If called, see what the turn brings.

Why would you want to raise? I'd call this down if he's laggy.

Since the BB is a LAG, you're probably going to have to spend 5 SB to win 9.5 SB if you want to call down. The flop is quite coordinated (BB could have anything really), and you've probably only got 4 outs. How could calling down even be remotely correct?

I think a raise is better than calling if you think he's just playing you, but I think folding is the best option.

Because I can check behind on the turn if I want.
