Default 2/4 nl deep play-along, interesting spot

2/4 nl, 800 eff stacks.

utg folds, I raise A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] to $16 from the HJ, co (fish) ccs, button reraises to $70,
folded back to me.

Some info on button:

He's kind of a lagtard, 45/20ish, and i've seen him 3bet a wide range of hands, stuff like 77-TT, AJ, some suited stuff - things he should probably be seeing a flop with given how bad most of the other players are at this table. He's squeezed in similar spots before without getting caught. Arguments for calling? Reraising?

Hero...?

I'd call to keep the fish in. If the fish were a TAG, I'd re-raise.

What is your plan TWP if you 4bet (assuming a TAG instead of a fish) and button pushes / 5bets / calls?

This is good thinking, but i think he needs to be very fish, stackin off with TP any kicker for this to be good. I highly doubt he is going to fold to the repop pf tho, i almsot always see them call along here. I would mostly 4 bet because he is so loose, if he pushes your just sad.

Call because of stack sizes. getting 5-bet blows, as does getting your 4-bet called and missing. If getting your stack in preflop isnt reasonable or desirable, then don't 4-bet.

Plus if you call, the fish probably will too, and then you can maybe take his monies as well if you have him dominated.

Yeah, I didn't realize this at the time but 4betting and getting called suuuuuuuuuuucks because of stack sizes.

So, I obliviously 4bet to ~$200, fish folds, lag thinks for a moment and calls.

Flop: T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

*barf*

My action?

A little other extra info: I had been surprised a few times in the past by how light he calls pot-sized 3bets preflop, both in and out of position. I thought(eternal optimism?) that he'd react in a more sane fashion to my 4bet preflop, but it's entirely possible that he called here with 77-TT or something like 87s. Implied odds analyses etc aren't exactly his forte.

either c/f or bet 1/2 pot. without reads that he calls the 4-bet mad light, its a c/f.

Okay, so pf was ugly - now that I've gotten to the turn - is it worth firing a bet to get him off a small-mid PP / the other AK? This pot is biiiiiig now, and checking down to let him win UI w/ 66 or 88 seems like a crime, no?

I think PF is fine, deep and you put immense pressure on like QQ or lower pairs. And usually he has jack [censored] and you win a nice pot PF. Against most players, flop is a check/fold. BUt this guy seems like he'd see a flop with a fairly wide range, i think 220 on the flop has a positive expectation.

I take a stab on the flop. Don't like preflop though.
