Villain is standard TAG 20/16/2.5 with a c bet % over 80%.

I am playing a bit nittier than usual pre flop 18/13 with an aggression factor of 2.31

OTF I'm feeling that he is c betting everything really and I'll float a card and take it on the turn when he checks. Then on the turn bet I'm basically putting him on Ax and I feel a standard TAG is capable of folding A9 A10 AJ AQ AK here a lot of the time.

(My plan is to shove any river).

Given your image I think I like it. For most tags this feels like one of those bluff spots that are good in theory but where people always end up looking you up though.

Wouldn't a standard TAG read your turn raise as representing a combo draw at best and then 3bet shove with a hand like AK?

Is your turn raise amount (near minimum) to leave a little bit more to shove on the river or because or something else? Do you think it makes you look stronger or do you think that is all that is required to fold out the hands you referenced in the OP? Or are you trying to find room for a fold if he does come over the top OTT?

Just curious.

Turn raise looks strong, river shove is going to fold out most one-pair hands. I suspect hands better than one-pair are going to be scared of draws and are often going to 3-bet shove the turn (how true is that? anyone?), so you can fold when that happens, and be pretty sure that if you make it to the river your shove will do the trick.

Obviously you have to have the image to back it up, which I believe you do.

So yeah, I like it.

Yeah, river would be a pot sized shove bet.

Yeah, I think it looks stronger to make a smaller value raise (especially with my nit image)

Or are you trying to find room for a fold if he does come over the top OTT?
Not sure about that one Smile

you're repping a really narrow range though. 66 22 65s. maybe A6s/A5s, but not sure if you play those preflop. but anyway that's 12 combos total. not sure how much your opponent will be thinking about this, i suppose it can work, but you're basically risking 180 to win 100 so it has to work nearly 2/3 of the time.
