Default Middle pair against a TAG, crowd on the flop.

How's my line? I haven't seen this player get out of line at all. They are TAG and I suspect a MTer. Would you rather C/C down after the flop? These are the kinds of hands I feel like I play well when I'm "on" but I'll let you be the judge.

Some TAGs are so aggressive with unimproved overcards that I probably would check-call down after the flop.

If I wanted to be more aggressive, though, I think I'd 3-bet the flop and go from there.

i'd rather have 3-bet this flop. if the turn goes bet/raise again i'd feel better about the fold.

That's a good point. But does a player have to be a rock to take the line I took? Unless he just spews, I don't think the turn raise is anything less than a pair. My line has to look like a PP or an idiot with an Ace and he hasn't seen me make any big folds.

If we checkcall down after the flop we let villain have as much as 6 outs in a 7BB pot. I think most TAGs won't raise with a hand like AQo again after a stop'n go.

The turn fold seems fine to me. If this is higher than 5/10, though, then I don't know. (And, actually, I'm still getting used to the increased aggression at 5/10.)

Default Re: Middle pair against a TAG, crowd on the flop.

I posted yesterday a few questions on this hand type.

One thing that came across unanimously was that this hand is a preflop raise. This combined with the 3 bet suggested post flop would seem to have given you more information to make the turn decision.

Raise preflop.

3-bet the flop.

Sometimes I raise this pre-flop, sometimes I don't. You don't feel like TAG, straight-forward, potential MTer is enough information that I need to put more bets in to define my hand with this board?
