Man we're seeing a lot of weird hands posted lately. Maybe everyone is worried about the end of online poker and is drinking the crazy juice.

Against LAG players, I don't like taking unorthodox lines like the flop check-raise that might make them think instead of getting into the usual pissing match.

But the turn/river play is far worse. If you think you have enough value to 3-bet, then you should do so because that nets you as much money as calling and check-raising the river while avoiding the possibility of the river being checked behind. The only reason to prefer a call/check-raise line is if you think there's a significant chance that the opponent is bluffing completely and won't put any more money into the pot unless you feign weakness. Here that isn't likely because his most likely weak hand is Ax which just picked up a gutshot, which needs to call the turn 3-bet for pot odds and may call anyway once it gets to the river as well.

My default line would be to bet the flop. I would just call down after his turn raise (after you c/r'ed flop). However, I might take him to 3 bet town on the turn had I bet the flop and he called.

I agree with Nate. The turn/river play has no merit.

Like I always tell you... no need to get cute, just value-pound the donks at these limits.
