Odd. Q9 does sort of make sense, and a hand like T9 is of course quite possible, but I think I'd raise it to $16 or so, with the plan of showing down if Villain pushes.

Villain's turn underbet lead could be a trappy play, but you're chopping with some of his "trapping" hands, and you're ahead of many strong hands Villain could have.

It's also possible this bet is a blocker, but if that's the case, then you're probably not going to win much more anyway, unless Villain is scared enough of the board that he's blocking with two pair or a set.

This looks like a 9 - 98 or T9 to me or possibly a set or two pair as well. I don't think this would be Q9 very often against a TAG in the BB. Could also be a KQ that picked up a flush draw and figures you can't call without a 9.

I play it the same as Hero and go to a showdown if needed:
RR turn and call river bet.

I raised turn to 13 (too small?), he called. River was an offsuit 4. He checked, I pushed (32 into 36 dollar pot) and he folded.
Is there anything a "normal TAG" would call a smaller bet with that he folds to the pot sized push?

It's possible that Villain had a pair + draw type hand (or even just KQ) and the turn bet was an attempted blocker.

Call here, normally call the river. Bet if checked to, sometimes raise if your opponent is an overvaluing dork (true fairly often).
