Party Poker 3/6 Hold'em (9 handed) converter

Opponent had TAGgy pre-flop stats, but I didn't a good read on her post-flop play, as I only had twenty-five hands on her.

Preflop: chesspain is MP2 with 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
3 folds, chesspain raises, 3 folds, SB 3-bets, 1 fold, chesspain calls.

Flop: (7 SB) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB checks, chesspain bets, SB calls.

Turn: (4.50 BB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB checks, chesspain bets, SB calls.

River: (6.50 BB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB checks, chesspain checks.

Standard?

Obviously, if I check behind on the turn I have to fold the river UI. Or is this later plan still preferable to trying to shake her off a possible JJ/QQ on the turn?

i hate being first to act in this situation. In last place, i'll raise to get a better idea of who's-got-what. THen take a free card (if that player is likely to check the turn)

who won? what did villain have?

This is tough. When the flop comes, there is absolutely no logical 3betting hand you are ahead of. So the question is if we can get a better hand to fold.

Though she has showed weakness by check/calling the flop, I think this is more likely to mean, that she will call down all the way or use the c/c, c/c, bet-line.

So I think, that I would have given up on the turn, and I guess you could even give up on the flop, if you were sure of your read.

Hero is last to act here. Villain checked it all the way.

I think I prefer chcking the turn here despite seeing the action. I'd be paranoid of getting checkraised by a monster and I get the feeeling she may be calling down with KK,QQ,JJ. Also she may be waiting for the river to checkraise Aces full or something. I dunno.

I don't have a lot of confidence in this player being TAG postflop. Be that as it may, checking behind this river is fine. Nice hand.

I'm not concerned, since folding to a checkraise here is like the easiest decision ever.

You felt that the chance that you were ahead + the chance of getting QQ,JJ to fold and usually showing down on the river was worth firing a second barrel on the turn? Then I think your line is standard.

With TAGish preflop stats, the three-bet, and that flop, I can't think of what you'd be ahead of.
I'm guessing villain has something in the neighborhood of KK-JJ and is not going to fold.
That being said I like the line you took as it does let you get to showdown whereas like you said a check behind on the turn will probably induce a bet on the river that you can't call.

Does no one like a cap preflop?
