There's a limper in front so it's not quite a blind v blind battle. SB is TAG, playing 21/16/3.

Thoughts on the entire hand?

[TheDivineRod]

I would def bet this flop, people tend to call a little looser in blind battles, and theres a flush draw out there.

[Margin Of Error]

Normally I hate passive lines but with TPTK in position this deep I can see an argument for it. If you bet flop/raise turn hes almost never calling with worse.

[doppelganger]

As played can we raise the river and fold to a push? This seems like AQ most of the time to me.

[RiverHebrew2]

TBH, i'd probably valueshove this river. I woulda probably bet flop just becuz u would normally after u reraise preflop blind on blind.

[blankoblanco]

That's such a standard flop to c-bet after you've re-raised that your check should arouse suspicion from any decent villain. That's why I usually just bet this flop.

[holdme]

since you didn't bet the flop, the rest is good

[rand]

lol this sucks, you want value town all the way, build the pot with a cbet

[Adelson]

For those saying to bet the flop, what do you do if he check/raises? Keep in mind we are 175bb deep.

Also, I think the presence of the limper tightens his raising range here as opposed to a regular blind v blind battle.

i think checking the flop is fine, there's only a FD, and villain will not be on a FD very often here..... i check flops like this in pfrred pots enough to not arouse suspicion

what i can't make up my mind about is if you can raise anywhere, i really want to, but i can't quite come up w/ what would call you, so i guess it's fine as is
