Default Turn raise here?

UTG is very LAG preflop, somewhat LAG postflop. He will definitely raise light postflop and take shots at unraised pots. 59/29/1.1
SB is a TAG. 27/19/2.4

I had a fairly solid image at the time of this hand, I think.

Is this turn raise spewing? I thought I had a good chance to have a better hand than UTG and I might be able to push out SB even if he had a better hand.

fold PF. you don't beat a maniac by playing looser and more aggressive with weaker hands.

I disagree. I think KTs is definately strong enough to isolate a LAG whose pfr is 30ish. I would isolate KJs there against most opponents, surely KTs is good vs. a LAG.

I like the rest of the hand. It looks like UTG had a T as well or was waiting until the turn to protect something or raise a monster.

PF good.

The turn is cool if you think SB will fold AQ/AK hands, which he most probably should, but it also depends on what UTG waits for the turn for. Would UTG possibly raise with JT here?

this notion of people folding overpairs getting 7:1 in 14BB pots...can you explain it to me?

j/k, i don't think you can play any street differently

I don't claim any authority here other than my experience and opinion. I posted how I would have played it and the reason therefore. I fully believe that the way to beat a maniacal LAG is not by playing super aggressive with less than premium hands.

Of course, your post suggests that you ARE the absolute authority [ QUOTE ]

That LAG's openraising range is huge, why would you not want to be in position, have inititave, and have a strong holding VS HIS RANGE here? I don't know why you are still defending your position when everyone else in this thread has disagreed with you. Accept it and improve your game.

Fold preflop. He is not raising 29% from this spot, its very likely he is quite tighter there, so its maybe ~23% so your hand is actually a dog and 2 players are still to act.
Also it will often be not that easy to show your KT-high down UI when he is very aggro postflop. IŽd just fold it.
