Villain seemed TAGish and decent here. I don't think I had more specific reads, though I don't remember for sure. My PT database has him at 18/13/5.75 now over 100 hands; I didn't have as many hands at the time, but I think the stats were similar. No really notable history between us.

I'm really not sure I played this right on any (postflop) street. On the flop should I raise so I havea better idea where I'm at later in the hand? Usually I don't like doing that because it's not clear I lose less finding out I'm behind than slowing down and calling. But the flop is draw-heavy. The turn card is scary, but he seems scared of it too; should I bet to push him off? And on the river, have I shown so much weakness that I need to call? I don't beat much at that point.

Oh, and I know, "reload preflop." Just hadn't gotten around to it yet.

Raise the flop not for information, but for value and to price out a draw (which I think is what villian has).

I'd raise flop to around $16 (PSB). As played I think I fold river. The flush got there, four to a straight, and another 9 on the turn which would give him trips if he started out with top pair.
