Preflop is somewhat shaky. However, please focus on post-flop.

Is 40 hands sufficient to judge TAA? Does that 9 mean that he raised 9% of the 40 flops, or does it mean that he raised 9% of the flops that he VPIP?

If the table is tight-agressive and there is a lot of blind play going on. Most of the times I would 3-bet PF. So he steals less/raises only with premium hands in the future.

9 means 9% of total flops... Therefore someone with 12/9 raises 3/4 of the time they play a pot.

Makes sense. I'm kinda trying to punish him post-flop here rather than preflop. However, AT has a big edge over a lot of stealing hands, and HU it has SD value too, so I figure you're probably right here.

If my table image is tight, I probably 3bet preflop. The range of hands that a TAG will try to bully a tight player with is quite large.

EDIT: Oops: just saw your preflop note. n/m

That's cool. You brought image for me to consider, worth the pf comment, imho. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

The pf call may have been Fancy Play Syndrome.

Post flop is where it's at, though.
