Too Weak?
 

I didn't really like the look of this when I reviewed some hands today.
What line should I have taken here?
Villian had TAG stats 27/18/2.4 over only 50 hands.

I like this line. Against many 10/20 players I will call this down after it gets 3 bet on this board. This is about as raggy as you can get. Against this tag it is tough, but I think he thinks you are BS'ing here enough and 3 bets with a strong A high for you to call down. But it's close.

too weak - much like the weagles - its normal for most tight aggro players to raise your flop bet with over cards so you didnt get much for your flop raise

i could advocte a bunch of different lines but they all add up to providing more of a fight than this - against such a player i usually like to develop lines that involve donking the flop

these hands can be a pain in the nutsack, but i prefer to see a showdown. whether that involves being weak and c/c the whole way then be it. also, check raising the turn puts the player in a tough spot with overs.

I'm definately finding a way to get to showdown with that hand on that flop. I think I call down after the 3bet; the c/r on the flop is my standard play here.

It depends on the aggressiveness of the TAG but against the more straight forward types I like your line. The few times this is overcards he will catch up about 25% of the time.
