NL25, hitting top pair against a TAG

[ICMoney]

I 3b this pf almost every time.
Pot on flop will be $8. Pot on turn will be $19.
Now you can shove the turn and count your Slanksy Bucks.

i prefer a 3bet pre. and putting a raise in somewhere. you underplayed your hand too much.

No I'm not trying to find a way to justify my line, its just that I aint happy with advice as "reraise".
I mean.. that's the same as when you're playing a soccergame and someone in the croud yells SHOOOOOOT. I just like to get advice that comes with an explanation.
The part where Skibble made it more clear where he talks abou tthe AF is fine for me and I agree totaly with him.

On the other hand I also agree with Genesis, the fact that it might be a WA/WB situation against this villain.

The real question here is: how can I find out in hands like these that its an obvious value raise that I have to make or that I'm WA/WB.

What range should I put him on, how to play against that range on this board, .. answers like that would be way better then "raise flop $5-$6 dont let him catch up" or "pot pot pot pot" (no offence to the people who posted that, but really, please explain yourself when posting advice)

you have the button and you have a premium hand, so now is the perfect time to build a pot. your hand has a lot of equity (from both cbets and value bets) on most flops, so you're looking to inflate the pot size with position.

don't automatically assume aa/kk based on a relatively small sample size. you still need to raise this hand for value preflop.

By underplaying his hand the OP got the villain to over value his. Without taking the results into the account, he probably got the most value out of this. I like the OP's play in this hand tbh, situationally this passive play can pay off @ at this limit. (without getting sucked out on) Versus raising the flop and villain folding. just my 2....

WA/WB inducing bluffs, played fine vs nit.

May fold river depedning upon bet size and may reraise pre sometimes.

You could 3-bet preflop, but calling is fine too.
Flop is fine.
Prolly raise turn.
As played, I call river.

3bet preflop, raise flop, rest is fine
