Hi guys played an interesting hand at a 2/5 NL table this afternoon against a loose Asian gambler and would like some feedback on the way I approached this hand.

Starting stacks:

Hero: $500
Villain: $105

5 players limp including villain in MP. Hero opens to $35 on the. BTN holding J:diamond: J:spade:
It gets folded around to villain who calls.

The flop comes: A:club: 4:heart: 8:heart: $107 in pot

Villain checks. Now villain is labeled LAG fish. He limp calls raises with a wide range of hands regardless of position. He plays combo draws aggressively and draws when not priced in to do so. Now against this villain would you just opt to shove the flop given his wide calling range or check the flop and shove the turn on a blank if he checks the turn?

Thanks for the feedback guys!

I'm afraid you have no idea where you are, since by your description he could have limped called with AK or 67. Given it is unlikely he holds 23, the only draw is to a flush. Of course he could be way ahead already with any ace or pair or 4s or 8s.

The question is he more likely to hold a flush draw or already be way ahead? Anything else he is folding. Since you will call most any turn bet getting 3 to 1, why let him draw to the flush for free?

Bet his last $70.

Actually I have no idea here. Just call that as the villain is so short stacked

shove flop, you cant commit 1/3 of the effective stack and fold , he is calling you with so many worse cards this is a no brainer value bet
also make it 40-45 pre

Also, a small size bet may work here

+1 and make it $55 preflop, short stackers love hands where they think they will have an easy time getting their stack committed. This is especially true for those players that never reload until they are busted.

Opening to $55 will not work here due to table dynamics. My opening raise was the threshold for this table.

I would stare him for a while then look at his chips.

I would ask the dealer to count his stack and declare "all-in".

This is WA/WB. I think delayed c-bet and a shove on the turn would probably be the option here. On the flop there are not many hands you can beat to get value from so check behind and shove the turn.

I don't like shoving here, I think people like this have close to 100% of Ax combos and they don't call with worse pairs enough when there's an ace on the board. A lot of the time with low pairs they'll call and put you on AK and then on a non-A/K flop they'll shove. I'm definitely checking here and folding if he shoves turn. Not sure how I'd proceed if he checked turn I think shoving and checking behind are close.
