Middle pair against a lag

[brandon]

40-80 live. Sick table with lots of lags and passive donks. Most pots of been 4-6 handed.

UTG raises

He is a tournment lag donk and has a wide range 44+. He just capped on the button with KQs in a time pot when the tighest player at the table raised UTG, mp1 lagtard 3 bet, and mp2 cold called.

Im in MP2 and decide to float with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], to my surprise everyone else folds [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Flop:

UTG bets, Whats my line?

well, what's the postflop read on the guy?

that's essential for making optimal post flop decisions.

readless you can either raise the flop or turn and get away barring improvement if the guy comes back at you.

id call/call/call, and bet if checked to, i really dont see any reason to put a raise in here

if hes the type to never ever fold an ace and wont play back at you without a king, you could probably raise the flop, but if hes the type to fastplay his draws(it sounds like he is), i think you are better off just taking the passive line as you are generally going to be WA/WB here

I like call/call/call as well, though other poster is right -- Opponents postflop play matters a ton here and greatly affects your decisions. Will he just keep firing on anything as long as you don't play back? Against an unknown, I like calling down, maybe raising the flop. Hate to not see a showdown cheaply here if you don't have much info. on the player post-flop.
