ISO LAG - Did I chase on the flop?

[Langerz]

Villian is pretty laggy - 28/19/2 I've been in a couple hands and been able to get him to lay down hands when I play back at him.

Flop: (5.50 SB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
UTG+2 checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+2 raises</font>, Hero calls.

<font color="blue"> Pretty boring flop and this guy has folded to me a couple times already so I CB. The CR tells me I'm probably in trouble, but made a loose call since he's a little laggy and I didn't want to fold on the same round. Planning to fold the turn UI. </font>

Turn: (4.75 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">UTG+2 bets</font>, Hero calls.

<font color="blue"> The turn helps me a little. I pick up a gutshot with my two overs. Gives me just enough odds to call (7 outs needs 5.6:1 - I'm getting 5.75, plus I probably get at least 1 more bet on river). </font>

After I typed this up it looks pretty basic, but I'm not 100% on the flop decision. Plus I promised myself I'd make my first hand post this morning.

It looks like your laggy opponent caught part of this flop, and decided to trap you with a check/raise after your agressive play in earlier hands.

Nonetheless, you had a backdoor flush draw and backdoor straight draw to accompany your overcards. So I think that getting 8.5:1, calling the flop raise was fine.

I also think that your turn call was fine, after you picked up your gut-shot to go with your overcards.

In fact, I would value your overcards as nearly full outs as you have only one opponent.

Your choice on the flop is go for steal or go for free card.

This guy knows you haven't hit that flop so a steal attempt by you is a perfect time to put you to the test. You needed to 3 bet the flop and now put it back on him.

I prefer the free card play against that guy. The turn now becomes a simple fold to a bet.

Looks good to me

Don't you think that we have to discount our OCs somewhat, just for the possibility that we can hit them and still lose.
