Default 50NL: Getting sucked in as I keep seeing the right odds

Villain 26/20/4, 80 hands. No direct history at this table, but villain is playing exactly as you'd expect a decent TAG to play.

This is a common problem - you feel you are being offered the odds at every point and simultaneously feel you have very little FE against better hands, so you call along. This of course is a killer when you just have to fold in the end.

So preflop when he mini 4bs I am getting 4/1 on my money:

Hand 0: 28.607% { AdQd }
Hand 1: 71.393% { QQ+, AKs, AKo }

(Making it KK+ makes surprisingly little equity difference).


On flop I am getting 3/1 AND he might just have whiffed or have QQ- AND his bet is so weak:

Board: Kh 2c As
Hand 0: 23.706% { AdQd }
Hand 1: 76.294% { QQ+, AKs, AKo }


Finally, by the time villain bets the turn, QQ disappears from his range IMO, and we now know we are toast despite getting 2.7/1 on our money. Worse still, we are toast light almost half a BI!

What do you do throughout?

Thanks.
