playing weak by folding here can only encourage this guy to make more bluffs - and more daring bluffs in the future.

I've experimented with this and not very fond of it .... you suddenly have to be dependent on villian betting your good hands

it's not so much that - if I peg some villain as a lagmonkey I'll make some very thin call downs with MPNK if I think he's full of it.

I'm not waiting for great hands and hoping LAG will bet them for me - I'm trying to read his hands and work out when I have a big enough edge to call his frequent pushes - if that makes sense.

If we fold here and villain persists in pushing "scary" flops we know for a fact that he's bluffing lots of the time. The more often he does it the thinner we can call down I think.

It's probably a style thing. I find it relatively easy to setup LAGdonks into donating stacks to me further down the line - I tend to play nitty and "weak" which probably helps this [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
