Lately I've started playing some 6max whenever there is a fishy game. Just for fun but also to practise for when I go to vegas and I want to play some live there and last time I found out I've gotten pretty bad.

IPoker Network $20/$40 Limit Hold'em - 5 players - View hand 751284
The Official DeucesCracked.com Hand History Converter

Pre Flop: (1.5 SB) Hero is SB with 2 :club: 6 :club:
UTG calls, CO calls, 1 fold, Hero calls, BB checks

Flop: (4 SB) 4 :spade: 8 :club: 4 :club: (4 players)
Hero checks, BB checks, UTG checks, CO checks

Turn: (2 BB) 3 :heart: (4 players)
Hero bets, BB raises, UTG folds, CO folds, Hero??

Preflop seems standard to me. Utg is a ~40/15 fish, CO a 70/1 huge fish and BB a good LAGTAG that wins quite a lot in these games.

This exact situation where I complete the SB and see a flop has happened before. Everytime I just played c/f when I missed and bet bet bet whenever I had something. In this case I wanted to go for a c/r because my hand looks strong and I have a lot of fold equity later in the hand. Also the freecard would not be to bad.

Turn also gives me a gutshot and I gbet here because it looks like nobody really has something, and should they call I will still have a lot of equity. The BB suddenly raises me, this seems weird if you consider his flopcheck. The players after him are passive and I would find it weird if he played a 4 like that. So I have 2 options here, Calling to hit my oluts, but this seems rather weak because I never win the showdown. Or I could 3bet with a lot of equity and hopefully make him fold, but this seems to spewy to m, because what would he raise in such a small pot with the intention of folding later.

I would go for the 3bet since i guess that BB would have, being oop, bet out with a 4. But when you say that BB is a good lag/tag, wouldn't he have expected as well that you should have donk out the flop with a 4 and thus thinking your range on the turn is quite polarized?

I don't expect him to fold a 3. Question is whether he can go for a free showdownraise with K or A-high and fold to the 3-bet? It depends on various assumptions. if you call, the pot is 6BB and if you invest 1BB more, you just need 1-2*EQ / Pot.

Assumed your equity is about 20%, you need around 10% foldequity on the turn but the question is whether to barrel the river again. If he could also have hands like 76 A2, a flushdraw and hands that he can fold to a riverbet and with no showdownvalue at all, you have to bet the river for an extra investment of 1BB.

We don't have to measure it up correctly as it rather depends on the assumptions. as you could bet with any2, he might even go for a raise with any2 but folding to the 3bet or even capable of capping with nothing? just by my rough evaluations it's worth to place a 3bet but i'm not certain about it.
