Weak/tight to go into calldown mode?
I had Villain (UTG) here read as a TAG, so when he bets into me again on the turn, I slowed down. Do I bet/fold this river? MP1 was a typical maroon.

Re: Weak/tight to go into calldown mode?
I doubt that 3 really helped him. I think he's more likely to be playing a weaker K or maybe AT, and doesn't want to give up a free card to your flush draw. I raise the turn, call a 3-bet, and then see what happens on the river. The way you played it, I bet the river.

Re: Weak/tight to go into calldown mode?
If you read him as a TAG, his play is transparent.
He bet in to you with a pair or decent draw, bet the turn to not give a free card, and then gave up on the river. Raise the turn. At least bet the river. |

Your read should have been "guy who plays tight and saw a few episodes of the WSOP." Raise and take away the money he was going to buy Mike Sexton's book with. |

Raise turn
Bet river |
Re: Weak/tight to go into calldown mode?
Raise the turn and bet the river. FWIW i think your read on this player is wrong i can't imagine what hand he could have and play it this way. If he had a weak king he should have check/raised the flop or at least bet the river for value. If he had a draw he should have checked the turn and whatever he has he should have raised with pre flop from UTG unless this is just a super loose 5+ to every flop type game.

Re: Weak/tight to go into calldown mode?
This donk bet looks like he trying to find out if you were raising a FD or if you really have the K. His hand isn't strong enough to 3 bet you on the flop, so he probably has KJ or KQ. I'd raise and check the river (assuming MP called the turn if you had raised) if a spade or straight card comes, and bet it otherwise . The way you played it, you can bet this river as it's doubtful they'd go for a C-R after you only called the turn.

Re: Weak/tight to go into calldown mode?
A tag might not necessarily go for a C-R on this draw heavy board since there's a good chance you'd take the free card, but he would definitely 3bet the flop -- sending 2 back to MP -- if he had 2 pair or better. His play reeks of weakness.
