    My image is always LAG in cash games, but situations like these are tough for me. I believe that I played it correctly on the flop by just checking, considering the pot was already as massive as it was and that flop hits or creates outs for almost every hand I put him on since he just called. I ruled out AA because of the flat call...which can be seen at higher stakes but I imagine would never ever happen at .25/.50.

    The second check and the check behind on the river might have been saftey plays (especially the river check thru). Without a solid read on a player and knowing that your opp. views you as LAG, do you play this hand differently by betting at either street?

    IMO this was played a bit too weak.
    I would bet out on that flop as you were the agressor, and it is highly unlikely that he has something that hit the flush or straight already with that sort of preflop action.
    There is however a strong chance that he has a draw though, so why give him a free card.
    Bet 3/4 or pot, and if he calls, just try to check behind and get to a cheap showdown, or release to strong action.
