MP1 is an average-to-bad lagg (stats around 30/13), Button is a better lagg with similar stats. I've been pretty tight at this table (my stats were around 15/10 after 5 or 6 orbits).

Line check and turn play?

Are you done with this hand?
The reason(s) I ask:
(a) I think a check-raise all-in gets called, so that's probably not the best play in terms of fold equity but may almost be equivilent to (b) in terms of pot odds
(b) A bet of any amount (less than all-in) may be reraised all-in, in which case you will basically be pot-committed to call on a double-draw.
(c) If you check he will very likely bet an amount that you cannot call on a draw
(d) An open push would represent a strong made hand = basically AA/TT/AK here - that may get a fold from a lot of tight players - but how tight is this guy post-flop - particularly considering that he is not as likely as you think to be drawing and may think that you put him on a draw if you push (can he fold AJ+?)

So your options are basically:
(1) Push (which you would probably do with a strong made hand and definitely has the best fold equity)
(2) Bet $80 ish - leaving only that much behind on the river - that's really fine if you hit your draw because he will call it with a made hand - it still has a nice amount of fold equity against AQ- and you do save $78ish on the river if you miss

(3) Check - you're gonna be priced out and should be done with the hand in that case so this really isn't an option - however, if you decide that you are done with the hand(which is fine of course) then every once in a while you will get lucky and AQ/AJ will give you a free card, though that's less likely with a LAGG

At this state of my game I would put the Button on a strong hand that he's not willing to fold after calling a preflop raise and reraise and a strong flop bet - and I would basically give up and move on to the next hand - unfortunate turn of events - worth a shot for you but didn't work out.

I bet $100 and obviously call if he pushes.

whoa wtf Dnuts-its really really obvious he has AK/TT/AA like 96% of the time and there is nothing we can do here but check and pray for odds
