I found a few nice tables without any good regulars, so I was playing a slightly looser than normal 34/28/3 LAG session. Most of the opponents were good enough to adjust by constantly raising me light preflop, but I think I got them pretty far from their comfort zones. When the others start to adjust, we need to readjust. Sometimes I just go back to TAG, but since I didn't feel like anyone really good was at the table I thought I would play back at them instead (this might look ugly).


===============================================
Hand 1: Isolating a fish (45/0/0.4). Villain is a 28/24 fairly decent loose TAG.

Seat 7: BUTTON ($105.00 in chips)

Are we calling a shove here with a bad image, a pair, OESD and FD, 126BB deep?


===============================================
Hand 4: 115BB deep. 5 minutes after hand 3. Looks like the perfect opportunity to squeeze when 34/28 LAG (me) raises from the cutoff and button calls. SB is same villain as in 2 and 3. Bet sizing ok? (the raise is to $435)?
