I agree with your statement, but that's slightly different to what he said. The fact that this line is not standard, I feel is a fine reason to ask for other opinions. I didn't actually question whether I should be vbetting river, I said I was looking for bet sizing and general advice. To correlate something that I clearly didn't even ask, with my postflop ability (and thus preflop play), doesn't make any sense.

Edit: I said 'River i think has to be a bet as played. he can easily call worse'. That to me is a statement, not a question on the river play. Apologies if this was misunderstood.

Also this wasn't about me playing LAG just because I decided to play LAG. I'm not trying to call and raise loads of spots so I can get a 30/27 and a red box on my HUD. I'm expanding my play to include more lines that are very player dependent, looking to get as much value out of people who I think could be exploited. I thought that my skill edge over this guy was fine, and that I could make this a profitable play given all the available information at the time. I wouldn't make a 'LAG-style' play, for the sake of making that type of play,if that's what you're insinuating. My inference of your post may be wrong though.

Anyway, I know better than to pick an argument with a law student, I faced the wrath of a couple when I did E&M.

All points taken, thanks for the advice everyone, much appreciated.

Oh i didnt realize the innovative new line you came up with! So let me get this straight, you luckbox two pair on the turn, decide to raise and then vbet the river! I take back everything i just said, you are a post flop god!

And yes "looking for bet sizing and general advice" correlates to not being very good post flop.

I didn't say it was an innovative line, I was just happy to play those 2 cards in position. After observing flop, the intention was actually to 'luckbox' the turn and hit 2 pair or trips, he made it pretty cheap and implied odds are kind of a thing. I also lol'd at the healthy dose of sarcasm.

Looking at you're past posts you seem to do this sort of thing a lot. Keep it up!

Implied odds and you can get away from the hand easily post.
Except it's 50 hands and we can't really make that many assumptions off 50 hands.

To be more aware of players is never a good reason to play more pots.

You can multitab zoom as well but anyway point is: 50 hands is nothing. You can be anything from 5/5 to 40/40 with average of 25/22 during that based on how cards come(not just you but to others).

BTW incidentally if opponent IS nit you are doing what he wants. Play crappy hands with little playability against tight range. Nit's dream.
