Villain is an 18/14/2.6 TAG. How's this line? I was trying to under represent my hand to extract the most value from worse pairs, TPTK on a low board, etc. The river donk lead was meant to look like a noob betting his rivered str8, as I knew villain didn't have it.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (5 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

BB ($71.10)
UTG ($133)
MP ($116.50)
Button ($18.25)
Hero ($52.80)

Preflop: Hero is SB with J, J.
1 fold, MP raises to $1.5, 1 fold, Hero calls $1.25, BB calls $1.

Flop: ($4.50) 4, T, 6 (3 players)
Hero checks, BB checks, MP bets $3, Hero calls $3, BB folds.

Turn: ($10.50) 7 (2 players)
Hero checks, MP bets $8, Hero calls $8.

River: ($26.50) 3 (2 players)
Hero bets $10
My sig is too much for you to handle.

You faded all the cards that would have given you a tough decision. Why try to bluff with (probably) the best hand now? He isn't folding any of hands that beat you anyways. Of all the streets to check call the river seems like the best. Sometimes he'll check behind but probably not with too much that he is calling with.

I don't think he donked the riv as a value bet as much as for blocking purposes.

I hate letting somebody else control the action so I 3bet pre, then carry thru on the low flop.
As played I CR flop and lead turn if called with the intention of getting it all in.
FWIW, I don't like your theory of getting the max from TPGK+ as I don't see many 18/14 TAGs hit TPGK+ on that board raising in MP. I think his more likely holding from MP is 77+, sets, and possibly some str8 draws from SCs. Other's can correct me, but I don't see JTs+ here much. I also can't see him 2 bar that turn card without it improving his range unless he has TP. The less positionally aware he is the more likely it is that he holds TP.
Playing live . . . thanks alot Bin Laden.

re raise pre flop, if u get raised again fold, if u get called put big pressure on him on that low flop. when u play that aggressive u make it very hard for opp to hide a monster.
