It's aggravating to watch him in LP bet on a raggedy flop after it's checked to him and watch him steal pots. I'm too tight a player to try to steal his steals. And since I know he plays any junk, he might actually have hit a raggedy flop after there is PF raising. (For his entire night: 71 hands, VP$IP:92%, VP$IP-SB: 100%, WWSF: 44%, WTSD%: 25%, WonAtSD: 41%, PRF: 15%)
What strategy is best against this type of LLLLLAG? Sit tight and wait for your monster hand to break him? If you've got a good hand but vulnerable, bet him out?

I bet into him to not allow the spade draw cheaply and he pushes on me. I can't figure the 6 helped him, but I'm not putting him on a set here based on his play earlier.

This hand came later and I was just hoping he'd call. He said later he had a pair with a straight draw. Wonder if it was the top or bottom end...

Normally I'd fold here, but for some reason I thought I'd see a flop for just the min raise from the SB.
