    Default Attempting to Beat the LAGGs

    Villain is super aggro, running at 34/24/5 after 100 hands.
    My image is Nittagg...but he may think I am Tight/weak.

    My thoughts on this hand is that I think my line shows a ton of strength, and I should have lots of FE.

    Thoughts?

    Poker Room skin
    No Limit Holdem Ring game
    Blinds: $1/$2
    4 players
    Converter

    Stack sizes:
    UTG: $448.25
    Hero: $258.95
    SB: $213.70
    BB: $100.80

    Pre-flop: (4 players) Hero is Button with 6 5
    UTG raises to $8, Hero calls, 2 folds.

    Flop: 5 J 4 ($19, 2 players)
    UTG bets $14, Hero calls.

    Turn: T ($47, 2 players)
    UTG bets $30, Hero raises to $80

    Yeah its ok. I don't really know what to do on a blank river though. I probably fold this pre against this type of player because you're in so many more marginal spots post flop like this. If I am calling pre I probably play it same.

    Pre is fine because I am in position and BB is an uber donk. I was very very surprised he folded his BB....he musta had 72o.

    I think it's good. Is folding here pre bad vs. this type of player? Anyways, as played you have a lot of equity against his range and I really believe your raise causes him to fold a lot with his range and your image.

    all you can credibly rep is JT
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

    id 3bet preflop if i played (tho u said BB was terrible so thats a good reason not to)

    calling flop is fine

    the only conceivable benefit to your turn raise is to get him off hands which might succeed in bluffing you on the river

    call turn and call some rivers

    No, they call with 72o to beat you with it and feel awesome.

    I like calling the turn more, I think the implied odds you have when you hit your backdoor FD make a call better than a raise.

    Your winning a lot here so i like your range assessment, however i agree with sauce we have SD value so why waste it.
