The presence of the third player should make the TAG play more straightforwardly and therefore make it easier to determine when you are and aren't good with a middle pair like 99.

This concept is discussed in TOP and or HPFAP. I would be very careful when applying it in practice, at least with regards to B&M California games. What happens in real life is that the tight player will think along these lines:

"Hmmmmm... this live one will call me with anything and there's another good player in the pot. I think I'll bet my second pair or naked ace in the hopes that the good player will fold."
