My LAG hands

[arkana]

I am not a LAG player at all, but I do occasionally mix in a hand here or there and I think its quite profitable given my (normally) tight table image. Am I spewing chips here?

Hero ($109.90)
BB ($157.35)
UTG ($100)
MP ($199.25)
CO ($98.40)

#2:
This guy had definitely switched gears as soon as we got shorthanded, he was raising and reraising everything. He had bet me off a couple of pots in the last few hands. He hesitated a long time before making the flop bet but I was pretty sure he was either on a weak Ace or air and trying to look stronger than he was.

In both hands my turn bets should probably have been a bigger but I wanted to make it look like I wanted a call and there are no real draws for the opponents.

I'm new and not to good short-handed(yet) so bear with me please. LAG stands for loose-aggressive right? Why is either of these hands loose short handed? I would think A9s with four folds infront of you would be a good hand too blind steal with and good to see a flop too?

Same with poket nines. That isn't still tight when you are down to three hands?

[arkana]

Its the post flop play that I am referring too. In the first hand I was betting a draw very aggressively and in the second hand I was representing a hand that I didn't have. So I guess its not really loose, but definitely aggressive.

Ah, okay thanks.

I definitely think that the first hand should have been more at the turn - that way if he puts you AI you can make calling the rest of your stack +EV.

The second hand, I think that turn bet was good. If your reads are on, then he's got nothing and is worrying about you having the ace. I think that's how you would play that if you actually had the ace - you're not going to check and wait for a flush to hit, but you need to get some value out of the hand.
