Default 3/6 Top 2 vs regular

The turn really confused me here. Villain is a pretty solid standard TAG regular, I've played with him a quite a bit at 5/10. He used to be fairly weak but seems to have improved a lot, he still has a few weak/nittish tendencies. I think I can argue for calling, folding and shoving the turn.

I don't really see folding as a option.

And whether to raise or call depends on a couple things (helps if you show his stats). But prob. in this case calling is better.

19/15. Basically he seems tight, pretty straightforward, standard postflop. I would say he has a low bluffing frequency.

I'm not 19/15 anymore.

Nittish tendencies? Probably true.

Weak but always a winning player. =D

I played unconventionally that hand. The money should have gone all in on the flop anyway. However, with your nittish reads on me (however accurate or inaccurate they may be) means, as I said on the table, you have to be praying for 4 outs on the river.

Guess what came? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

hard to tell but he may well play AQ the exact same way.

id flat call the turn bet asap to give off strength and then check river and see what he does.

I don't doubt that you're a winning player and I don't like having you at my tables, more so than almost anyone else at 3/6. There are just a few points in your game where imo you play too passively, and which are reflected in this hand.

Also I never get the money in on this flop if I check here.

john, 19/15 has AQ here after limping preflop? No, ich don't think so.

Limp/call AQ UTG? What 19/15 regular does that?

I don't see any reason to reraise here. I call and call pretty much any river.

I'll clarify, the flop goes C/Call or C/R if I bet then the turn comes and you feel better about your hand probably.

The money goes in on the turn if I bet the flop.

If I didn't just remember being in this hand, I wouldn't notice it. I think its not worth mentioning. You are supposed to play your hand for 100bb once the turn comes I believe. You can't fold the turn, and you can't fold the river if you don't improve. I bet, what? 385 into the river? You have to call that with top 2 if you didnt improve.

Don't feel bad the river came A. =D

I should have folded for the last $120.

could be hearts or crap like 44 that knows you need AK AQ AA KK to call here. I make a small reraise to piss him off, say 400? But id do this with garbage too sometimes. Actually that doesnt work in this spot. Call or push I guess? Is there room for anything else?
