Default Sort of a standard spot I think is interesting

Not a specific hand, but more of a general thing.

$400nl 6 max game, say we raise with a hand like Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] from the CO. Button is the type of TAG to cold call with a wide enough range that he is capable of showing up with a lot of different suited connectors, pairs, broadway hands, etc. You figure he is probably capable of making moves in position like most people are although you don't know that for sure.

Anyways, button calls and the blinds fold. The flop is low and wet, something like 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. These spots have always confused me a bit. If we bet in his shoes it's hard for him to see us hitting this flop, and I imagine he knows he can raise and represent a lot of hands and I'd be forced to fold my whiffed overcards, underpairs, weak draws, etc, which is a ton of my range. I'm not sure if he is thinking on this level or not, but I would assume most are?

I find myself often c/fing in this type of spot, but I'm not sure if that's a leak. Are most of you betting here? Do you think TAG types fold enough on this board texture for it to be profitable?

You could also apply this to things like we raise from the button with something that didn't flop anything on this low/wet board against the good aggressive TAG who just called in the BB. I feel like I get check/raised a lot here so often times I'll just check behind and give up on the pot basically.

Thoughts?
