Where do you guys slow down?

Villian is a TAG who is just a little bit tight preflop. He loves tricky plays such as check-raising the tunr on a bluff and betting scare cards.

Why did he wake up on the turn? The only hand I can possibly put him on is TT or a lower flush. KJs?

Even though tens full is the only reasonable hand that beats you I just call the river bet.
Someone a little bit tight preflop surely will not be going crazy with the flush being so obvious unless he can beat it.

If there is a time to slow down, it's to just call the river bet.

Of course, this is giving the BB credit for 22, TT, or T3. The turn cap says he either isn't afraid of the flush or not afraid of the A. Call the river and hope for the latter.
