Preflop is marginal but OK, raise bigger on flop though. Check behind turn. You dont want to turn ur hand into a bluff here.

I prefer 3-betting PF here. As played, I probably just call flop. As played, I check behind the turn.

Why are you just calling the flop here? We have huge equity vs. most of his holdings. I'd be trying to make the pot as big as possible.

Postflop is fine.

I generally don't like to coldcall someone who is 45/40. I'd rather 3bet them with pairs/solid aces/suited connectors. A 45/40 guy is going to miss a lot of flops and will be forced to check-fold so you want to 3-bet a lot. Coldcalling plays directly into his hands because he now controls you postflop. Yeah, sometimes you coldcall and flop 2-pair with K8s but when you play back he will fold because his range of holdings will be weak.

So, because a 45/40 has a weak range of holdings on flops you want to be in control.

After you 3-bet him a few times I would start to tighten up if I sense frustration.

Because if we are to get it all in on this flop we most likely just be drawing to a flush here and sorta turning our hand into a bluff.

if villain is laggy the best way to play against him is to repop him PF a lot. raise to $12 PF.

Edit (flop): actually what the poster above me said is very good

as played don't push turn. he's not folding better and not calling worse. check behind.

[/ QUOTE ] What about 45/40 tells you he is just calling when you 3 bet him?

You don't coldcall him in position to flop gin. You do it to raise and float him very liberally because his range of holdings will be weak.

As played then, what hand would you put me on if you were villain especially the way the hand has been played post flop. If I were villain I would be thinking he has hit a set of 4's or possible has 2 pair KT maybe?

[JackAll]

PF sux horribly - just fold
flop - raise more to around $28 (same as you would with a set)
turn - why raise so much? You are making sure only better hands call. Just bet $33

Adapting to a LAG by opening up your calling range is the opposite of what you need to do. You should tighten up and raise/3-bet more (not crap like K8s obv).

Lol. You look EXACTLY like you have a draw that needs fold equity. So you will be called far more often. You should actually do this with a set because you will be looked up more often due to how bluffy it looks.
