I feel like i should throw a bet in here someplace... but, where

hows this? Standard? I almost bet the river but decided only a better hand would call. Since there is nothing on the board making me consider a fold should I bet the flop or turn? preflop the call is loose and you can blast me on that. But, I'm more concerned with the flop on.

Preflop raiser is tag so I figure he could easily bet all street with no pair.

I lead this flop against a TAG.

I *think* calling down if he raises is the standard play, but I wonder about 3-betting.

This is hand protection... you dont have position to use a c/r... CO is between you and UTG.

bet...UTG will likely raise....CO has two cold.

You can three bet the folp or stop and go(one of the few times it is useful)

If you get cap on the flop or raise on the turn...then you need to figure out what you want to do.... I would lay down the turn unimproved(not putting two bb in on the turn)
