a little background prior to the hand...I just dropped way down in stakes after a bad run and wanted to practice some different styles...I've been playing pretty aggressive and the table is kind of a call preflop with anything place...I want to maintain my image and am trying to play a LAG style which is new to me...bottom line is I am opening a lot of POTs and C betting to...is this call correct given what's in the POT and my image?

Hes not raising you with air here, and he has TPNK beat. Im a believer in image, but fold here. If the 6H were an 8, or something like that that makes a more realistic and stronger middle pair, then its better.

true but at these stakes at this point projecting the image is important for me...also I get the added benefit of seeing his hand if he beats me.

fair enough...if he had more back it would have been a very easy fold...turnes out he had K 10 and he held up to win but I did more than triple up following it so it was a profitable session with the aggressive style...
