HU vs. LAG - river play

[littlejohn]

How's my river play? BB is very LAG and has been making odd bets and raises for the last ten hands I've seen.

Sometimes LAGs really like to represent hands. If they really had the 7, they would have CR'ed you instead. I might be apt to raise in this situation, but if this were a passive predictable player that bets with the goods, I'd have to just call it down.

Against a LAG? Raise it.

This kind of bet from that kind of player is rarely anything you don't beat. I would expect he has a ten or a four or a busted draw. He probably won't call with the busted draw of course, but I think you'll get paid off often enough to make raising worth it.
