If I check then I'm not building the pot with my superior hand and allowing free cards to come out.

How do you extract value from your hands against a winning aware thinking LAgg player?
It sounds like you are asking
"how do I beat a better player than me",

I guess you just need to get better.
Even aware LAGs must have weaknesses which are unque to that person. Find out what it is. Be more aware of him than he is of you. If he is the one guy at the table you are worried about then watch everything he does in his hands and really get into his head. Dont spend so much time watching the guys you know you can already walk over.

Im just trying to inspire you here.
