Check-fold if he knows enough about you to know you're not a chaser.

Otherwise, bet 100.

edit: oops, 100NL, only 60 behind. c/f.

Do you find that people really defend their blinds that much at 100NL full? Especially a multi-tabling tagg?
What's your image?

You've got $59 left. Pot is ~150. If you push do you really think he'll lay that down? He''l be getting 3.47 : 1 on that call.

If, and I say if, he's been at your table for a long time, or you have stats from another table, and you really think he'll lay down his AA or KK when he thinks you've spiked your flush or straight, then fire away. Otherwise you're pissing away half a buyin.

I raised pre-flop because I expected a fold.

Any comments on the flop call?

Flop call is good. You can either hit the open ender, or represent the flush on the turn. I think pushing the turn might have been the best option here. Rep a set, and still have a flush and open ender going for you if he calls.

I considered this line, then I put the entire puzzle together.

I should add, that it probably took me about 5-10 seconds to make that turn call.

Turn call is fine with 13 clean outs, although he might fold to the 7 or Q, but that gives you some bluffing outs too.

Flop call is fine with implied odds + J/9 might be outs too.

i would fold the turn. with deeper stacks and against a good opponent, i might c/r allin.

as played, i would not bluff the river. it just seems like whenever i try to they spite call anyway.

Explain. I'm getting about pot odds, I don't have the obvious draw on the board, I have every reason to think he's paying off a river and there is another $70 behind.

I agree, that potting the turn really sucked for us.

Villain bumps it to $8 preflop, pots the flop, and is still putting in $50 with no club on the turn...I don't think he's on the flush draw, which leaves it open for you to rep...but...

It's bluff with a push or check/fold. My cautious side says the latter, but I've got a feeling you're gambooling here...

It committed him to the pot and gave us a marginal call/fold decision.

Would check raising that flop have done much for you? Seeing as this player is TAG, it seems like you could have better utilized your folding equity in this hand.

I wonder what c/r flop, push turn would have been like?

Pre-flop I figure he's pricing me into a call with something good. Maybe AK, probably TT+. AK likes to trap and be a real pussy in this game

I would almost rather lead the flop, although with 2 clubs on the board I don't think a thinking player is folding QQ+ to a bet/push line.

He follows though on the flop. Pots it, but I don't know enough about him to know if it's his standard c-bet, so I made the loose call. I'm torn between putting him on a real hand and air. Although air doesn't fit the pre-flop action.

I guess I was expecting a freebie or half pot bet on the turn, hence my check. I think leading is bad because often I'll see a check or something weak if he's got air. A real hand is calling or raising. A raise would really suck because it would be really close between call/fold for a lot of money.

I used to play like this more often and it cost me a lot of money. The raising standard is so tight that the fold equity just isn't there. Also many of these guys will give cards, tip hands and under-bet. I think I'm better off exploiting those mistakes.

You don't think he's capable of 3betting in position with lesser? If this was a 3bet from the small blind instead then I could see more definitively putting him on something that strong.

Maybe, not likly. My read is tight multi-tabler who couldn't give a rats ass about defending his blind on table number 5 of 8 against a player who's going to give him grief. Also, consider his raise size. He's building a pot.

I would just dump this preflop. J9s just doesn't do well against a tag oop in a reraised pot. Flop play is fine by me. I would just fold the turn. If you had another $100 or so behind or if he bet something like 1/2 pot I think a cr ai should really be considered. I think c/c turn and c/f river just sucks. What was your plan when you called the psb on the turn? You have to assume the rest is going in on the river, no?

WTF? If the raising standard is so tight, then why are you playing this mediocre hand/draw oop against what clearly is a made hand? And I don't see how you exploited any of these mistakes you talk about.

He played his hand far better than I expected. Quite often I draw weaker bets. If I had something like AJo, ATo, KQo, etc. I'm more inclined to dump this pre-flop.

Fnord, I respect the style you describe here, and I'm fairly certain that I'd lose to you pretty good, but...

Villain has raised PF, bet the flop,PSB on the turn..if he's TAGG, what the heck makes you think he's on air? Isn't this a (big?) made hand every time?

Where did I say otherwise? If I think he's on air, I'm sure as hell not check/calling the flop + turn.
