Had an idea at a table today. There is a semi-thinking Lag at the table, to his immediate left is a TAG player that is 17/7. LAG opens 5BB UTG, TAG calls. Your image is TAG and make a PSR or more. The LAG is aware of the tight player still to act and folds. The TAG isn't getting odds to setmine anymore and also folds. Who likes this idea and whathands would you do it with?

It's fine. Its also the reason I overcall with aces here if I'm 17/7 guy.

With those stats he basically CAN'T reraise without telegraphing his hand. I say 17/7, thats over 250 hands, he plays 4 or more tables and I've been mining him. From my perspective however most times he won't have AA or KK. He'll likely fold most strong aces here being OOP as well.

Seems like I need a hand that can play if called. A SC, PP or strong broadway
