15/30 TT against a TAG

[ResidentParanoid]

TAG player that cold-calls 2 pre-flop and 3-bets the flop? And then raises again on the turn? Screams big pair to me (although I'm not sure why he cold-called pre-flop, maybe a variation?). I'm done with this hand. I don't think he's on a flush draw since he'd be really cutting down the field with that flop 3-bet.

I agree with the others that he most likely holds AcJc or KcQc.

That said, can you please explain to me what you're hoping to accomplish with the flop cap? Anyone else think that a better line is to call the three-bet and bet out on the turn if anything other than an ace a four or a club falls?

AJ or AQ of clubs are good possibilities. 44 or 55 are also fairly likely

well put choppy.

I think AJ and KQ clubs is certainly possible, but I think 44, 55, 33, and 22 are also very valid holdings. I would overcall a raise even with 22 in his spot I think pre-flop. poor play?

Forget the TAG description if he's calling 2 cold with small pairs.

If he puts him on overcards/clubs then he's jamming it with the best hand, forcing a draw to pay maximum value.

[stoxtrader]

why?

I consider myself TAG and i think calling 2 hear with 22 isnt a terrible play, but wnat to know if it is so I can stop doing it.

If he cold calls a good early player's open raise with either of these hands, he's not a TAG, he's just another Party clown.

[stoxtrader]

ed miller advocates cold-calling with these hands, unless i mis-interpret which is entirely possible, why is that a bad play?

[OrangeHeat]

If you label players based on one hand then you are mislabeling alot of players. Ever hear of mixing it up?

My VP$IP is around 17-18% and I regularly cold call 2 in multiway pots with small pairs.
