View Full Version : Whiffing overs against a coldcalling TAG

Other than my pathetic stealing and defending from the blinds, this is the part of the game that drives me to drink the most.

You have a hand like AJo 1 weak player limps, you raise from mid-late position Tag to the left of you coldcalls. flop misses - small and uncoordinated. Weak limper checks.

I would think that a coldcalling TAG has a big suited broadway or a small to mid pair. It seems that he reraises with 1010-AA and AK. Is this too narrow of a range to put an 18/8 tag on for coldcalling?

If I bet here, it seems to be raised about 95% of the time. If I check here, it is bet 100% of the time.

Is it too weak to check fold here? It seems that I may or may not be playing for 6 outs if I am behind - at worst, I am drawing dead to a set.

Can a case be made for check raising? If so, is this a fold to the 3 bet? of if he calls and you lead out on 4th and respond accordingly?

Thanks for your input.
