Hi,

With villain's aggressive stats (obviously I don't have enough hands to rely on the stats too much, but they do indicate he's likely to be LAG), I can 3-bet or flat. Decided to flat, because if he shoves, I have to fold, and I think he can shove weaker hands

On this flop, decided I could play for stacks. I lose to KQ and sets, but block most sets, and expect him to stack off with any A

What do you guys think?

Thanks!

Probably against who seems a LAG i would probably 3bet especially with 3 players behind you, to try to avoid a multiway pot. On the flop i don't think you have other way to play, 3bet with a strong hand and protect from straight draws and call any shove.

Cumps ;)

You have a little bit a tricky stack to 3bet/fold pre-flop I think, but If I would 3bet 750 in total is big enough. Otherwise you are easy committed if he shoves and the 21bb stack behind you could make it tough as well.

As played you can't do much else than going broke with top 2 pair. If he has a set or straight it's too bad I think.
