10/20 weird action on a blind steal, A4o

[bank]

I usually flat call that flop and re-evaluate on turn. Why the raise?

I also like calling the flop for a few reasons:

1) This guy could easily have an OESD, gutshot w/ overs, or random hand and be willing to go 3bets on the flop so I wouldn't feel comfortable folding if he did.

2) A lot of cards (like this Q for instance) will make you wish you hadn't put that extra 1-2 bets in.

To tell you the truth, against a LAG like this I often just call all the way down.

As for how the hand played out, I fold the turn.
