stumped...

[Surf]

Playing in a decent, 8handed 10/20 game. It's just filling up from running as a great 5handed game.

I raise A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] UTG. 4 folds to button who cold-calls 2.

In my extensive notes on button he seems like a decent, TAGy player. He hasn't gotten out of line preflop with bad hands, and does the "right" things with them, open-raising and isolation-raising, defending his blinds aggressively, etc. I'd say he's one of the better players in this game, though that's not saying too much. He makes some mistakes by peeling a bit too light in some spots, and might get a bit too tricky for his own good.

So, wtf is he CC'ing here?

Now, it gets better.

If he is decent here, his range is huge, especially if the blinds are tight, he honestly could have alot of hands, i call the turn and re evauluate on the river.

i agree with sonartc, i'd call his turn bet and reevaluate on the river. most tags will try to steal the pot when you check to him on the turn in this spot. you are signaling i don't have a piece of this board or i'm afraid of this queen so tags feel obliged to bet here to represent strength and try to steal the pot. by the river, if they have nothing they will check behind so if you call the turn you may still have a chance to win the hand unimproved.

KJs?

I call turn trying to give off the best "i'm gonna call you down tell" (not too fast) and fold river if he bets again.

Yeah, this was my plan - I figured he could float the flop with quite a few holdings planning to steal the pot.
The river was a 6, and still bewildered I decided to pay the $20 to see his cards - he had K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
