confusing AQo hand

[TheMainEvent]

SB is somewhat tight and very passive
BB is TAG

I don't think I could have played it too much differently (correct me if I'm wrong) but I'm more curious about the hand reading. I had no idea what either of these players could have had post-flop.

I know he might be trapping, but I've got outs either way, right?

Well after studying this hand for a few minutes, it looks like you may have lost to a str8 flush. I like your read on the BB, I would go as far as AA-JJ with AK and AQs being 3 betting hands. That is one scarry board for the nut flush, but I think you played it well. Nice hand.

Okay, I'll ask... would raising the river be a bad idea? I think we are ahead here most of the time. I doubt SB has a full house, as he'd have to be poking along with 77 (otherwise we'd see him act on the turn). If we get beat by a straight flush... well, so be it. But most of the time SB will be on a weak pair with a [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

Considering the opponents, I might want to take a free card on the turn.

I don't think BB has the K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. A TAG is unlikely to check the flop and check/fold the river with that. I'd guess he's got a big pair, no spades, and waited for a safe card to raise the turn.

I don't 3-bet the river, not given the read that SB is very passive. Maybe he slowplayed a boat, or had pocket tens with the 10 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] to hit the str8 flush. He may also have KK or AK with the K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], but I dunno if someone very passive would raise with that.

I would check the turn and put in a 3 bet on the river.

I would also take the free card on the turn for the same reasons.

I don't raise this river because I don't see a passive player check raising a K high flush often enough in this spot. If he has the boat or the straight flush he will cap it, so since we intend to call a cap we need to be ahead at least 67 % of the time for the re-raise to be correct.

Villian shows [T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]] a straight flush, ten high.

Also I definately agree about checking the turn, looking back on it.

I would have capped it pre, that's just me.

I'd have taken a free card on the turn, because, basically, we still only have a board pair of 9's with ace-high.

I'd make a crying call on the river after the CR from the SB who did nothing the entire hand and hope he just shows down trips 9's.
