Default $1/$2 Hand from MGM - Play Each Street

Effective stacks are $300ish

Villain in this hand is a solid TAG who I played against when I was in Vegas last month. We have been at the table for close to 3 hours and haven't tangled yet.

Hero is dealt Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] on the button
Folds to villain who opens for $17, which was his standard. He never open limps so his range here is wide A+face, PP, Suited B-ways and occasionally a SC thrown in.

Hero ???? Only the blinds are left to act...

Give me your plan if the flop:

1) Contains an A or a K
2) Contains a Q
3) Is all under cards

Reraise, maybe to like $50. Cbet almost any flop.

Reraise to $60 preflop.

Flop:
1) I'd lead for $50 if he doesn't bet. I'd fold to a bet.
2) I raise if he bets and lead for $50 otherwise.
3) Flat-call a bet and re-evaluate on turn, or lead for $50.

I would reraise. Pot is already $20 and stacks aren't deep enough where you'll have much value in deception with your mid pair postflop, yet deep enough that you don't feel great getting it in on the flop or later against a decent tag. Pretend you're playing 2/4 with 75bb stacks. Calling is okay too offcourse. I hate plans btw.

I agree on this point, so I'll just answer the preflop question.

Given your range on him this is a must-raise situation, as he has a lot of hands that are behind you now but can improve, so there's no sense letting him do it cheaply.

Villain is a solid TAG who knows how I play. He knows that I like to see flops and outplay people post flop.

He would be able to fold many hands I crush that have little hope to out-flop me (but could flop nice 2nd best hands) and he would 4-bet (or push) anything like AK and JJ+

I smooth called and the blinds folded.

Flop is 5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Villain bets $30, Hero ????

I want his stack, not his CB. This guy plays as good, if not better than I do. Playing ABC is going to net me $30 when I'm ahead and lose me my stack if I am behind.

Villain has a wide range. This flop is pretty ragged.
What do I need to be afraid of? What hand can villain hold that he will feel comfortable calling a raise?
