Default Looked like an AQ to me

SB is tight with unknown aggression
BB is a hyper LAG

On the turn I say, "s*** AQ, I'm representing KK to take the free SD and get the BB's money in just in case I'm ahead."

Preflop: Hero is UTG with T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

So why the flop raise? It looks like SB's really not afraid of you and I'd suspect AK[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]/AQ[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 99, or a bigger pocket after he leads into your pf-cap. You're not looking so hot against this range.

HU, I just call this down. But I have 2 b/d draws and I could still have the best hand.

You capped PF and he still led into you on the flop. With your read theres a much better chance you are behind. And the fact that he likes his hand enough to lead into a PF capper diminishes almost any shot of you getting a free card on the turn for any of your draws.

I don't have a read, though, I guess most tight players are also passive. FWIW, I do think you're right.

Your backdoors are pretty close to worthless, though; you're drawing to a perfect-perfect backdoor straight and a one-card 5th-nut flush. IMO your equity is too low to raise even with the monkey in the middle padding the pot.

Flop raise is close but I'd probably do the same. After he leads the turn I would go into call down mode, plus you gain a bet if you hit your 10 on the river. River plays itself.

Is it possible that the SB is going for overcalls with the BB by bet/calling your raise on both the flop and turn?

If so, does this change his range to you?
