Playing against a super LAG. 3 hands inside...
Well, this guy was running at 75/35, scooping many pots, small and large post flop and showing many many raggy bluffs. Ive only played 5k hands at 6max so I'm not used to these kinda players, but heres how i dealt with him...
His range was huge so I widened up alot. I was basically prepared to go AI at the flop with TPTK+, I had to or he would just bluff my arse off the hand. Check calling down sometimes worked as he tended not to pull large river bluffs, instead he'd give up. I think my counter strat sucks becuase I'm either gonna win a small pot or lose a big one when he prints his money with 2pair + (which happened...) luckily the very last hand ironed things out a bit with a nice preflop trap working like a charm.
What do you think the ideal counter play is to his maniac laggy style?
Below, I find the turn check very trappy.. but if I check I felt he'd just push the river weather bluffing or not...

Below, another badly played hand by myself. Seeing as I'm prepared to get AI with this hand I should of induced a bluff (he later said he had Ace 4) Note: Against this player I didnt ever bother re-raising pf as to not tip off my stonger-than-his hand.
