NL10: aggro-donks

b/c, c/c, c/shove the gutshot on the paired fd board, gotta love it!

This one is interesting. I isolated a limper with a 4x raise. I usually made 4x opening raises + 1x per limper but I'm finding more profitable to raise 3x+1x per limper for three reasons:
1) They will call or 3 bet the same value range anyways
2) The will call sometimes with weaker hands that you dominate or are ahead of
3) Sometimes they will 3 bet you smaller giving you odds to call (like in this example).

The villain is a typical LAG. Sample is small (44 hands) but he was 44/30 and 24% 3bet (13 possibilities). I felt he was tilting, but this might be the way he plays. He 3bet to 1$, so...I need to call 0.6 to see a flop. With 55, a tilted LAG with almost 120BBs effective...I called to make a set and stack him off (11% of the time). I expected him to cbet his entire range and if I hit a set, I planned to minraise (they always think it is a bluff). I really hoped he had something stronger than he actually had (aces or a king, for instance). Here is the action:
