I folded after thinking for about 10 seconds. The river was an offsuit K and it went check-check. 88 is good for SB.

Wow, SB played it badly. He had an easy fold pre-flop to your UTG raise. Anyhow, the point of this response is, you might as well through your hand away after 3 seconds of thinking because by that time it's over.

If you intend to make certain plays, you have to plan ahead what you want to do when certain cards come out. So when that Ace comes out and the action is on you..."BAM!" you gotta be raising in tempo, not contemplating a move for 10 seconds. You're just asking to be looked up by KK or QQ at that point.

Seems like a thinking TAG, and he seems to respect my play, too.

I think you can change your read on him now.
