    I think his lack of a re-raise on the turn followed by a check on the river rules out the very strong hands (Big A's, FH's). Also I think the check on the river indicates that he has something with...

    I feel like the staring contest is a big part of the hand. In my experience, that's what people do when they have a hand that's "just ok" and doesn't really know what to do with it. He's looking...

    So give him a reaction. Sounds to me like he has a small/medium pair and isn't sure about your 3-bet range. He's looking at you to see if you hit, all you have to do is say "yes".

    I must have missed where he said that. If that's the read, then why even call pre-flop?

    And I agree with your last part. I wouldn't mind folding it either. A big part of my "playing for...

    Because it's not a strong range. Meatheads at 1/2 will limp/call 3-bets from UTG+1 with KJ and have no problem getting lots of chips in on a J-high board.

    If I saw a villain limp/call from UTG+1...

    I think at 1/2 with my good hands, I want to try and play for stacks. Winning small pots at these stakes is slow, boring, and probably tough to beat the rake (if there is one).

    It's pretty...

    What is UTG+1's problem? Limp then call a 20+BB 3-bet? After he did that I would have 4-bet to about 150-175 pre-flop to try and get more money in the pot while I'm likely to be ahead.

    We actually agree. I was saying that 1/2 players will find a call here alot if we only bet half the pot.

    well I'm not going to over-complicate this issue anymore, but I will say that I think you're overestimating the average 1/2 player's expectation that you would bet the spade draw.

    Care to elaborate?

    I think alot of semi-aware players will consider a busted flush draw to be a significant part of our range, and we're going to get called down quite a bit.

    Remember, we have...

    Are they credible scare cards? Is the Q of hearts here enough to convince 2nd pair to fold getting close to 3 to 1 odds (if we bet 1200)

    I would raise the turn because we have alot of outs and it's a tasty semi-bluff spot. The TAG player bet out 2/3 of the pot, which in TAG language means he thinks he's good but vulnerable. If...

    My line - I haven't given this a whole lot of thought, so if I'm wrong, don't go crazy at me. But this is roughly how I think I might play this hand.

    FWIW - I would bet the flop, and if called, I would put out a fairly large semi-bluff on the turn after picking up some straight outs.
