Tough spot, if he's that bad I guess call. It's hard for him to put you on a hand given your line and I'm sure thats why he's retardedly firing at the pot.

If he is that much of a LAG then he could be playing most anything, it's early I wait and bust him when I know I have him beat.

I like it. If he has an 8, TT or KT thats unlucky but I can think of him holding many more Kx's, Tx's & busted flush/straight draws.

Did he have A8o? Because that's what I'd see where I play ($5).

I've just gotten back into SNGs, so forgive me if this is incorrect.

If he's that bad, why not RR AI on the turn? The pot is already huge.

Why not charge the draws up front here (and take down the pot a good% of the time) rather than trying to pick off his bluff on a bricked river (since it seems you're never folding the river).

If he's that bad, how does he get away from AT or Kx (or a lot of draws) given he'll be getting about 1.7:1?

i'd usually push the turn but since you are so deep i think your line is very good. i dont think he is check/raising the turn on a flush draw very often. so if he is ahead best to survive the hand with 1000 chips and if he is behind it is nice to let him spew anohter 500 on the river.
