This is terrible and I'm surprised no one has said so. Your opponent has you beat VERY rarely here, bet and print $10. Also, unless your game is very loose this preflop limp is pretty bad.

What kind of hand are you putting the TAG on here besides a draw or a hand that beats mine? Do you think he's just calling down with something like A5s or Qx? That would make him a calling station, not a TAG. Any of those hands would have raised the flop if they thought they could beat mine. The turn and the river didn't make him any hands that had any business calling the flop (except 76s), so what else could he have besides a draw or a monster waiting to raise the river? Betting the river accomplishes nothing besides making him fold his busted draw or getting raised by a better hand IMO.

I pretty much agree with this 100%. This looks like a TAG that had a draw on the flop. If he had a pair, he should have been raising on the flop.

This seems like the poster child of the time to check the river to induce a bluff.

Note, if villain ended up with a pair above second pair, then he isn't a tag and you need to adjust your read.
