  1. I've been playing TAG to a tee, so I would assume that guy has a TAG image of me. He's kind of loose/weak, but no real patterns that I can pick up on yet.

    On this hand, I value bet my pair on the flop and get called.

    On the turn, I check. Should I lead out again here?

    On the river, I check/call. After the guy's immediate check behind me on the turn, I couldn't help but put him on something I had beat. I went through all of the hands he could have played that way (didn't put him on a pr7's though), and made the call. Let me know what you think about my river play here.

    Thanks.

  2. i think you played it fine. Leading with mid pair is fine but the call could be any pair or a draw. I like the check on turn and check call the whole way down. Doubt he'd have an ace bc he didn't raise...Q a possibility but when he checked behind on turn probably no queen. I'd put him on a draw and c/call river since you could have a better 9 or he may have the 7. control the pot bc if you lead and he raises its a tough spot......gl
  3. Cool. Thanks for the reply!
