Tough LAG keeps 3betting me, I have 88.

Is 44/40/2 really a tough lag? To me that sounds a ton like a money spewing fish.

These guys are hell to have on your left. He's not an idiot postflop either.

This 3-bet-incredibly-light strategy is very exploitable....unless you fold a lot.

He may not be an idiot post-flop but with so much money going in preflop, it's practically impossible for him to play profitably (even in position) if you are simply way tighter than him preflop.

Against guys like this I wouldn't want to be opening stuff like 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], etc, I would play way tighter preflop, but be a calling station post-flop with anything worth showing down. The more that gets in preflop, the less the post-flop stuff matters.

It's high-vaiance, though, sure.
