Default 50NL: AA vs TAG Line Check

Villain is a TAG regular. I think he runs around 16/13. We haven't been playing together at the table for long. My image is TAG also.

Full Tilt Poker, $0.25/$0.50 NL Hold'em Cash Game, 5 Players
LeggoPoker Hand History Converter

BB: $55.50
UTG: $32.35
CO: $49.90
Hero (BTN): $49.35
SB: $34.80

Pre-Flop: A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] A dealt to Hero (BTN)
UTG folds, <font color="red">CO raises to $1.75</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to $6</font>, 2 folds, CO calls $4.25

<font color="blue">Villain makes a normal LP raise. I go ahead and 3 bet. This is the first hand I have 3 bet him at the table.</font>

Flop: ($12.75) K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 Players)
CO checks, Hero checks

<font color="blue">This is a somewhat of a bad flop for my hand. I suspect he would have 4 bet with KK, but possibly not. Certainly QQ is in his range, as well as JJ, TT, but I'm not concerned about those hands as much.

Some might hate the check here since the board is very drawy, but I'm not too worried about a flush or straight draw because I don't think he can have many holdings that would call preflop.</font>

Turn: ($12.75) 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 Players)
CO checks, <font color="red">Hero bets $8</font>, CO calls $8

<font color="blue">Okay, he checks again. I pretty much rule out QQ or any really strong hand because I believe he would surely bet here. If he has something like AK with a spade or a big pair with a spade I want to charge him.</font>

River: ($28.75) 6 (2 Players)
CO checks, <font color="red">Hero bets $12</font>

<font color="blue">At this point I pretty much still have him on the same range of hands, but am leaning toward AK. Board is pretty scary so I'm not sure how much I should bet. If he has something like JJ do you think he makes a crying call with this smaller bet? Looking back I wish I had bet at least $15. With the rake taken out the pot looked smaller I guess.</font>
