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.

Interesting. I thought his betting out meant "I'm not scared of getting raised." But a TAG here would go for the check-raise instead, right?

His bet there means absolutely nothing, your TAG read is incorrect. If the 3 helped him, he would check/raise. If it didn't help him, he would check/raise. 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.

This isn't true IMO; if the TAG has a TAG read on hero, it's perfectly valid to bet the turn here with a strong hand, with the intention of 3-betting. There's other conceivable scenarios where we can correctly SNG the turn here.

I'd still raise the turn though because this is a free card block or other weirdness often enough to justify a raise IMO.
