I'm playing pretty boring poker, although I do 3-bet more then most in the game. I think I have a decently tight, non-spewy image.

Villain opening in the CO seems like a good tagg/laggish regular. 25/20ish. Preflop might be a bit spewy, but this guy seemed to be abusing late position and I felt it was a +EV bet. I'm not really sure what his range is for calling my squeze, but I imagine the call means something. If it was really tight, I'd just check/fold the flop. Even given that he's a relative unknown to me, I still considered it (but obviously didn't). I put in a pretty standardized bet, planning to shut down if called and obviously folding to any raise.

*ahem*, he just calls, on a pretty drawy board at that. Turn pairs mid card on the board and gives me the backdoor nut flush draw albeit on a paired board. I think and do what I gotta do. I think he can find a fold with some decent hands here, but I really don't know.

Comments on any street or the hand in general are welcome. I cover villain by $30, not that it really matters.
