Villain (EP): mid 20s white guy, crazy LAG with a PFR of at least 40 who swung up to $1k stack, down to $200 and recently topped up and lost some more ($275)

Hero (BB): mid 20s Asian, TAG image ($700)

One limper to villain who raises to $10. SB flats and hero squeezes to $45 with KQ. Probably a little thin, but the EP raise doesn't mean much in villain's case. He's grinded online before, clearly experienced but kind of a lunatic. Maybe he plays higher and just fvcks around at 1/2. Villain calls SB folds.

Flop: K85 ($96)

Obviously bet flop shove turn is not getting called by much worse. So basically debating between a bet flop x/c turn line or x/c flop x/c turn. He's never folding a diamond so I'm leaning more toward the first option. He probably 4 bets AK and definitely 4 bets KK+ so not too worried about those. And there's so few combos of flushes with K out there that unless a diamond or ace hits the turn I don't think I can fold ever.

SPR 2.4, we gotta get all our money in before the 4th diamond makes things tougher.

Lead flop for $60-70. I'd only consider checking the flop if I know V would fire, in which case I think a x/rai might play better than x/c. I actually think the double barrel jam is a great line. If we're not doing that with this hand, then what are we doing it with? He'd pick up on us using bets as bluffs and we'd get bluffed too often if we only continue when we're the aggressor.

I like $70 on flop and jam any non-diamond turn. Check/raise occasionally but I would rather have a high diamond when doing that because it will get called more often.

I'm not worried about villain picking up on hero's pattern unless this a regular you play a lot. Crazy lags are usually paying even less attention then most players. It's just that playing a crazy lag with top pair and an SPR < 3 hero is committed. You can occasionally fold if a diamond hits on the turn but even then villain is so likely to bluff the diamond if you don't bet that folding is hard.

I think flatting pre to close the action is prob better, but if I were in position I'd 3b this to iso/for value pretty much every time. I don't think 3b is incorrect though, and prob is right to 3b this some %.

If you think he's not folding a diamond I'm just going bet-bet. You should have the best hand and with this SPR you're not really folding unless a diamond hits the turn. If you check he can just take free cards with any diamond. If you think he'll stab if you check then that might be a good option but I'd x/raise. Just basically trying to figure out the best way to get the money in once the pot is that big on that flop.

OTOH, this is prob why we shouldn't 3b this OOP, because if this pot is smaller we could take a x/call line the whole way down on the right run out.
