Re: Hmm live AKs hand

A) The villian is a typical ho-hum player (not fishy but not great).
B) The villian is very good. At least as good as you are and views you as an overly tight (maybe weak) TAG.

my 2 cents on each scenario:
A) The 3 betting range of a "ho-hum" villain is pretty easy to guess IMO. We're probably way ahead here. This villain probably doesn't think of you as weak tight, since he doesn't really think too much about you at all. I like raising the turn here, since I think "ho-hum" villains have a dificult time throwing away pocket under pairs higher than eights. Also, I think this villain is much more likely to check the river if you call him on the turn.
B) This villain probably does notice how you've played your earlier hands, and a raise on the turn would send an under pair in the muck quite often IMO. I think a lot of good players in this spot will think you don't have an ace when you don't raise the turn, and will probably bet out on the river as well. I like waiting to the river to raise against this villain.
