Villain is 12/5/3 over 173 hands and seems remarkably unimpressive. My image is a bit LAGish.

PF: Std.

Flop: Very dry board; in position -- perfect time for the smoothcall.

EDIT: We're not fearing the CR mini-raise one bit. At this point, we're thinking of how to extract the most $$.

Turn: This would probably be the only questionable play of the hand. Sure raising here would probably rule out a bluff in his mind, and you'd most likely take down the pot. But you also have a chance at this point to get paid by QK/AQ with a medium-size raise. Followed by another payout at the end. He is not leading AQ on the river at this point, and you'd still only be getting paid once (maybe). Couple this with the chance that he could actually improve at the end, and I think you gotta raise a bit.

River: As played, I like the river bet.

He could easilly put you on a bluff, and call you down with JJ/TT.

If you float/bluff a lot, I'd push. But with a tighter postflop image, this hand seems fine IMO: Villain will often look you up with AQ, and maybe KQ.

shove river, expect to get called by random Q's and JT picking off a bluff.
