Weak flopped TP vs. tricky TAG
 

Villain has TAG stats but doesn't play very ABC. Likes to get tricky and has gotten caught with one flop bet, turn c/r line, as well as a missed c/r attempt with rivered trips. Because he get's so tricky, it doesn't seem that he value bets very well.

I was planning on calling a river bet. An argument could be made for bet/folding on the turn since that would show some extreme aggression after the flop bet/call, but getting to showdown cheaply vs. this guy seems like a good idea. We like?

Tough one. If we cant' fold to a turn raise reliably then I don't mind the bluff-inducing check. I'd be inclined to bet the river because it looks like he's hell-bent on getting to showdown...we're chopping better Ts and we might get him to payoff a "This tag is FOS!" river bet with a small PP or deuce.
