You realize a 40% range is like this:
22+, A2s+, K2s+, Q4s+, J7s+, T7s+, 97s+, 86s+, 76s, 65s, A2o+, K7o+, Q9o+, J9o+
Not really sure how to adjust here with loose blinds. On one side, calling 3 bets a ton means their range is garbage and you love their money + it makes the BTN play more straightforward. OTOH, having 44 in a 4 way pot even in position stinks on a lot of boards.
This is about right for his range. He knew that I was tight and was licking his chops anytime it was folded to him knowing he could get heads up with the fish.
I think hands like 9Ts and QJo slot pretty well as calls here. Hands like this allow me to get involved here and thwart his plans. If I can get him to tighten up just a bit that is good for me since I can't let him have the fish all to himself. These hands play well multiway and I have position. I think just calling hands after his raise creates confusion on his part since he is used to me 3 betting or folding. I would still 3 bet the stronger hands.
I think folding 22,33 makes sense. Even if I get the best case scenario and get HU with the LagTag he is not going to be easy to deal with post flop. I would 3 bet 44+ and hope to make it a 3 way pot or less. 44's have a bit more playability post flop.
How low would you go if you decided to just call on the button? Remember, it is a big win for me if I can get the LAGTAG to slow down.
