Bronze Level
When you are trying to figure out what to do against any opponent then vpip/pfr gives you half the puzzle. A quarter comes from previous actions and the last quarter from his levels of aggression.
John and I talked a lot about aggression levels and how players of different levels can be expected to respond.
So when I see the high vpip I know he's loose. Ergo he probably calls 3bets wider than normal. You also don't run up 500+bb stacks unless you are either pretty good or very lucky.
For me looking in from the outside here I can't comment on the likely best line because I'd need to know several things.
Is he loose passive or loose aggressive and how often does he call 3bets, how often does he fold to cbets on both flop and turn and what is his wtsd% to give me an indication of how sticky he is.
When you know all these factors you should have a fairly good idea as to how to proceed.
It's then common sense, if they rarely fold to 3bets you can range them wider. If they don't fold to cbets and have a high wtsd% (>28%) then trying to bluff them is pointless.
When you are oop with just overcards and your 3bet and cbet gets called then you are usually behind and should be giving up most of the time unless they hardly ever to to showdown.
Against lags like this you should often check a lot to avoid giving them too much information.
He's playing too many hands, he has to get rid of his junk either by folding bluffing or showing down. He's relying on you to give him a steer, so keep your sizings and cbet frequencies consistent.
On this lowish flop it favours his range, we can't rep much other than overpairs. I'm usually not betting here.
