Villain has TAG stats, but is a bad TAG imo. He'll stack off with TPTK basically every time I've noticed. Other then that no other reads. Comments all streets, and what you would have done AND WHY, would be appreciated.

This is a really quirky spot. Knowing villain's raising range helps. All the money is going in anyway so it's best to shove the turn and hope he has a weak ace. I don't think I can get away from TPTK here.

this is a very strange spot.

i think you played this fine after looking at it. i dont see TOO many hands calling a raise, though AQ is probably in there given your read.

I would raise the flop to know how strong my hand is.

The bet sizes look like the way I played with top pair when I first started out; I would triple barrel and keep the bet nearly the same on each street because I didn't really know what else to do.

I do like your line. I would raise that flop some percent of the time, but only if I felt my table image were squeaky enough for the TAG to not get tricky with me. That's because if you raise him on the flop, you are going to be in a tough spot if he 3-bet's you both in. I don't really mind stacking off on this hand in general, but I think the times he is willing to 3bet our flop raise we may be more behind than against his range which won't 3-bet.

Villain is definitely stacking off with AQ in this spot. I split with AK, unless he has spades, in that case he's freerolling. Everything else that villain could have has me crushed. He's not going to be betting three streets with KK/QQ IMO. However, I really didn't see any other way to play this hand.
