Another tough hand against a TAG villain.
 

Villain is 21/7 over 150 hands.

I expect villain to raise AJ+ out of that position there, however his pre flop raise % is low. I decided to keep the pot small and check/call to the river, but the river screwed me and I think that is an obvious fold. How is my turn play?

With your read I probably play it the same.

Rivers a fold. Looks like he maybe has bigger A/heart or both.

Here's a question, with no heart on river, are you folding to a half pot-ish bet? If so, I think I like leading turn for 2/3 and folding to raise.

What is your play on the river if he calls a 2/3 turn bet and it blanks?

You can block, but i prob c/f to real bet. A very tight player has limped UTG, called raise, called bets on flop and turn. looks bad.

Fold is absolutely the right way to go here. Why r u raising pre with such a marginal hand as A/T?

Preflop raise is not bad but had to be bigger
