Having trouble playing against bad Laggs

    Default Having trouble playing against bad Laggs

    I need some help playing against these bad Lagg regular type players.
    The type I am talking about are the ones who are too loose in every situation. For example, they all call way too many 3-bets or 4-bet way too often; they don't fold much on the flop and turn; they float a ton in position; they c/r a ton OOP.

    Here's an example against a $2/4 regular.
    His stats are 38/28/2.4
    Folds to 3bet% = 50%
    4bet% = 0%
    Fold to CBet = 34%

    Is this just a c/f every time against this guy? I don't know if I should just stop bluffing these guys altogether or not.

    $2/$4 No Limit Holdem
    5 players
    Converted at weaktight.com

    Stacks:
    UTG ($416.60)
    CO ($859.05)
    BTN ($516.80)
    SB ($218.15)
    Hero (BB) ($390.00)

    Pre-flop: ($6, 5 players) Hero is BB
    2 folds, BTN raises to $14, 1 fold, Hero raises to $50, BTN calls $36

    Flop: ($102, 2 players)
    Hero




    What are some adjustments I can make against players in general?
    Some of these guys are folding to 3-bets less than 25% of the time.

    3b wider for value
    but 50% fold to 3b doesn't seem super unreasonable

    he folds 34% to a cbet, but that means if you bet here he's floating you with junk a lot so if you get called you're probably about 50% equity against his range going to the turn because he's peeling any two overcards + any pair


    Board: 8c 9h 3s

    equity win tie pots won pots tied
    Hand 0: 53.541% 53.54% 00.00% 89049 0.00 { 22+, KTs+, QTs+, JTs, T9s, 98s, KTo+, QTo+, JTo, T9o, 98o }
    Hand 1: 46.459% 46.46% 00.00% 77271 0.00 { AcKc }


    so when you get called you didn't put in money that bad
    and you'll get a fold some % of the time when he has like 54s

    you can also barrel any club and when you hit a king or an ace
    although with the range I assigned a queen hits his range hard and I wouldn't barrel a queen

    Well he's never 4betting so he is calling 3-bets 50% of the time!
    However, this guy is one of the tighter laggtards that I face on a daily basis. Most fold to less than 30% of 3bets but most 4-bet more often.
