Opponent is 46/20 through 25 hands. Wondering about my flop bet, maybe c/r shows weakness? Maybe I overbet the pot instead? Figured I'm in trouble on turn...lags will call most any amount with A/K of spades.
Ready to pass on a big bet.

More generally, this scenario feels like a high variance situation for me against LAGs...hard to control potsize OOP and prime spot for him to bluff me off. Big river bet screams A.

stop showing results. betting is fine except i think you should bet a lil more than the pot on the flop.

I usually fold this hand oop, but against really bad players a call might be ok. I lead the flop for close to pot and look to get it all-in. As played, c/r bigger. As played, c/c turn is good, probably c/f river, but against a bad lagg I might find a call.

check fold turn is good but you can call a bet that small.

Folding the river to a bet that size is fine.

how about a reraise to 1.2 on the turn. It's not a large raise as compared to the pot, but to a low stakes player they see this as strength, regardless of the pot size. If he comes over the top you'll know you're beat but you may get a fold and possibly a call with a worse hand. If he calls just c/f river. Someone set me straight if I am totally wrong here.

reraising turn is terrible, the bet on the turn looks like an intentionally wimpy bet by an A or K looking for business. I frustratingly call turn because bet is so small and fold river

The fact that it is likely a K or A high flush is why i would reraise. If you think you're going to have a tough time folding the river to a bet such as the one given, then this is a cheaper way to see where you at in the hand while possibly forcing a fold.

Just a screwy idea i guess. Once again please criticize me if this makes no sense whatsoever, but i am also curious to know if my logic behind the play is OK.
