My bad, I agree about us for the most part having to c-bet the flop if we were to 3bet preflop .

However, I still think 3betting preflop is best. I think we're beating a lot of Villains range if he's calling our raise because I imagine he's 4betting hands like {JJ,QQ,KK,AA}, not all the time, but a good percent of the time. Leaving his calling range to be hands like AK, KQ, AJ and low pairs (with high pairs a smallish percent of the time). Also since we're playing LAG we will be 3betting a wider range on the button a lot, so we will need to be 3betting all our value hands like TT as well to compensate for the time we do it with our bluffy hands.

Another point is if we raise preflop and then it checks to us on the flop it will be easier for us to make a decision. And the times we're betting for value we will get more if Villain calls (if he folds I think that's good too).

^ I do agree with that against a certain table. Tons of the 200nl player pool won't adjust to a LAG, they'll just let him be LAG. So it's not as if they're ranging us for partially total air and partially monsters. If you were against guys who were thinking that way I would agree with the balance of 3-betting value hands. Most guys just wait for their strong hands regardless of all else though. In the last 6 months I remember 1 hand where a guy adjusted to me on a day I was playing LAG and he limped AA in EP because I was raising limpers alot from the button and I Doubled him up. He was sitting with about $40 though, so joke's on him.

So the thinking is okay imo, I just don't see the table dynamics at 200nl requiring us to be this crafty that often.

And I would just watch out for that thought process. There are times when the best lines to take coincide with easy decisions. But there are plenty of times where people do something that results in a simple b/f, for example, where betting was just done to make the easy fold if played back at, but betting in the first place was a bad play. So priority #1) most +EV line.
