Default Trapping a LAG

Villain is a LAG...not all that great but not all that bad. I'm waiting for a hand to let him bluff off his money. CO is a short stacked donk. Deep stacked short handed .25/.50 NL

Hero is button with T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Hero ($92.75)
Villain ($97.50)
CO ($5.45)
SB posts $.25
BB posts $.50
UTG folds
Villain raises to $2.50
CO raises (all in) to $5.45
Hero calls $5.45
SB folds
BB folds
Villain calls $2.95

Flop ($17.10)
7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Villain bets $6
Hero calls $6

Turn ($29.10)
A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Villain bets $15
Hero calls $15

River ($59.10)
8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Villain checks
Hero...???

Help on all streets please!!
Was this a good line? I'm not a fan of getting aggressive with a LAG. I'd rather just have him bet my hand for me.

I don't know if this guy was smart enough to realize but usually people don't bluff in to sidepots.

you should raise the flop to charge him for his overs.

I knew he was going to come out betting all streets. He has been betting hard most hands and has been pretty successful being our table is mostly weak. I figured I was good on the flop and I only had to survive two more streets. The reason I didn't raise on the turn was because I didn't want to cut him off right there...
You're probably right though...I should've just raised the flop.

you're missing the point, he can't have any two random cards here.
