Default Making a play in a Blind Battle

The guy is 42/26 laggy type after a few hands. The numbers are nowhere near accurate give you an idea. He is aggressive, but not that as aggressive as these numbers might indicate.

Preflop: Hero is BB with 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises</font>, Hero calls.

Flop: (4 SB) A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, Hero

I don't think folding is a bad play, but this flop seems decent to make a move on him as I think he is likely to fold without a pair. So what do you guys think about it and, more important, should I raise the flop or call and raise the turn?

I would not make a move here... it's a small pot and he is laggy. I'd just give up

if he is thinking and knows u play your Ax hands Wa/Wb i would just call the flop and see whether he gives up on the turn or not...

Whenever I try this stuff against these types of players I just end up spewing. It's expensive in a small pot, for instance if you call the flop I expect them to 2 barrel alot, so you have to invest 5SB in that case to win at most 7SB. If you raise the flop they'll usually peel anything, and are more likely to play back, so you're usually investing 4SB to win ~6SB and probably win less often than raising the turn.

I think you make your money from this type by letting them push their air, rather than trying to outair their air, although there are exceptions.

Don't try to outLAG the LAGs, fold and move on to the next hand.
