Online Poker Forum - 100 NL: bottom set and more river check raising! (yes I moved up)

Villain is a LAG winning reg who loves to value bet thin and make a lot of bluffs (runs 34/26) . I think pre is standard since his range from MP is decently strong. I feel that OTR the A really hits his range, and that he either hit it and will value bet, or will bluff it with air given my line is really weak which is why I check raise. What line do you prefer and are you ever check raising a flop this dry?

Depending on your image and villain's tendencies when faced with aggression I can easily see a flop c/r being better but c/c will be good a lot of the time as well. Pre, turn and river look fine and I play them the same without a good reason not to.

I don't know you have a big enough sample on villain to look at the positional stats, but as a general rule I don't think someone with these types of stats is going to have all that strong of a range when opening from any position.

yeah if you know he barrels overcards with air this is a great spot for a river c/r. If he's a really solid player then I think pre is pretty close because he's a lag and his range is pretty wide there so it's hard to make money with small PPs vs him OOP.
