$1-$3 AQ Live

Effective stacks=$400

I am in SB with AQ off. MP limps, fairly decent TAGGY type player in HJ raises to $12, folds to me and I call. MP calls as well and the flop is J92r and it checks to TAG, who checks as well. Turn is a 9, it checks to TAG again, who bets $15, I raise to $40, MP folds. I raise because I know he missed and I want to rep a 9. TAG calls. River is a 2, I lead for $70......

Thoughts?

I fold against a player with a tag image pf with a hand like that.

Playing higher live stakes I would fold preflop, but I didn't mind as soft as most of the table was, and I felt I could get away from a TP type hand if needed. Usually I also reraise this PF playing online, but just called so the pot didn't get bloated. I felt I was okay against a lot of his raising range from HJ.

The money doesnt matter...the fold is player dependent. You said he was a tag. Fold.

i think if he calls the turn raise, he's going to call this river very often.

i like the bet size, but probably 65 is better.

LOL were you the villain or just witness the hand?

Looking back I should have checked the river effang, because he's probably not going anywhere. Figured he would give me credit on the double paired board for T9, A9, etc....

Your line looks a lot like a bluff. Check/check, check/raise when nothing changes, lead river when nothing changes? Unless you'd been playing really trappy up to that point I don't see how he's giving you credit for a hand.

How does that look bluffy when a second 9 hits the board? I wouldn't be guaranteed to bet a 9 with a J on the flop, so a check there makes sense. The second 9 hits, a check raise to rep the 9 doesn't seem out of line. Following through on the river seemed like a must. Most live players don't know a thing about the Yeti theorem....

The argosy is so loose it's sickening. Never trust anywhere where the blinds are $1/3. I've seen so much there that you really cannot predict anyone. I'd never bluff there either unless I knew the person was capable of folding which is highly doubtful in that smoke-filled dirtball enriched abyss.
