"But by betting you are giving him the opportunity to fold a lot of hands that you beat,"

against a laggro who capped preflop and bet the flop im not worried about him folding anything. i doubt he'll fold any pair or most ace highs and any remote draw. that's not how those guys play.

Mike,

IMO, if a laggro plays this line and checks there, he is setting up a checkraise a huge % of the time.

One thing that contribute to a really high aggression factor is the inability to call (i.e. they raise or fold). Of course, you were there and have a better read, but many people with these PT stats are very capable of folding marginal hands.

Hehe, this crap happens all the time online, which is why I have my 'never fold to dumbasses' rule (which I keep getting told is a bad rule, yet it works nicely for me)

I think this is good against this aggressive of an opponent, esp since he seems to not be very selective with his aggression. When he checks the turn, you have to know he's gonna check-raise a high percentage of the time. But, against overaggros like this, you know they will be check-raising with air much of the time, so you bet and let them try to bluff you.

with out looking at the results, i would say anyone with that kind of pfr/AF combo is liable to raise any picked up str8 or flush draws. your call down will be good about half the time i bet, but its a tough call to make.

That's funny. I would have called him down, though, since it's pretty easy to put him on a hand like AcKc.

I doubt the SB is capping then check/folding the turn, eps. w/ his aggress. I think betting the turn was the mistake.

cheers.
