Opponent is BabyHoss, a Taggy multit-tabler. We're playing multiple tables together and we've reached a point in our relationship where he knows I open lighter than him and he might have started playing back at me. The couple times we've mixed it up post-flop has been me calling him down and picking him off once, then sucking out another. Neither was a very big pot.

Stacks:
CO ($236.05)
Hero ($209.90)
SB ($390.75)
BB ($45.00)

Pre-flop: ($3, 4 players) Hero is BTN
CO raises to $6, Hero calls $6, 2 folds

Flop: ($15, 2 players)
CO bets $11, Hero calls $11

Turn: ($37, 2 players)
CO bets $28, Hero raises to $60

I just sat down, but I suspect my opponent is very loose and calls too much

Hero bets $30, CO calls $30


Opponent is 19/14 and has yet to 3-bet over 50 hands. I think he's kinda nitty and passive.

JL will become famous soon enough
 Hand 1 - I don't think he calls the turn raise with anything worse. Against a solid player, I fold AT on the turn there, so I like your line as a bluff but not for value. I'd rather just call down.

Hands 2 and 3 I like.
Hand 3 looks like villain has a PP lower than yours a ton.

I wasn't estatic about seeing a river card and playing guessing games facing a $60 river bet. My other thought was that I had a good hand that I could have raised pre-flop or on the flop. As much as I like watching TAggs spew off money, I don't want to turn myself into a total station that misses too much value.

Hand 1: Are you calling a shove?
I know guessing games are frustrating, but if villain is any good he's likely 3betting / folding a lot of his overcard range preflop, leaving you in a WA/WB situation which makes c/cing the best idea here anyways.

Hand 3: looks great! getting max value out of whiffed overpair by delaying the raise until the turn but the river is a huge scare card.

Hand 2 I haven't decided on yet.

If he shoves a worse hand, good for him.

 i love hand 1

hand 2 i think you re both overrepping and underrepping your hand (maybe this isn t a bad thing). It looks like you're either going for a cheap showdown (which I don't think you necessarily should be given history) or repping a monster, which you obv don t have

hand 3 seems like it could include a half-pot riv bet to me
when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

Hand 1. Hmm...seems reallyreally good.
Hand 2. I like as well, not sure on the math, but with CS-ish reads it can't be bad imo.
Hand 3. You play good. I really like the thoughts behind hand 1 and 3.
