Villain is mid 20's seems to be on tilt and usually plays a LAG style. He is complaining about being unlucky and views me as TAG.

Hero: $250
Villain: $400

Hero has TT

Preflop:
Villain is MP1 and opens for $12, BTN calls $12, Hero is BB and calls $12

Flop: (772) ($36)
Hero checks, villain bets $20, BTN folds, hero raises to $40, villain calls

Turn: (772) (5) ($116)
Hero bets $50, villain calls $50

RVR: (772) (5) (4) ($216)
Hero bets $150 all in

Flop raise is far too small. Looks like a scared/fishy "find out where I'm at" type raise that in reality doesn't give you any info when he flats because I expect your average loose player to peel a ton of their range getting such a good price. You have no fold equity against anything that beats you, and there are many hands that beat you which will flat, along with a bunch of random floats and overcards. This makes the hand very difficult to play.

Someone who is tilty might call you down here for a couple of streets with AK/AQ thinking you can't have much but that's being optimistic and I don't see what you possibly get called by with a river shove other than 88/99.

I can't say how I'd have played the river because I'd never have played flop and turn this way to get into this spot. If you check, he bets all his JJ+ and 7x and may well check back the two pcoket pairs you beat. If you jam, those pairs might find a call, but you also own yourself against all the hands you beat (there are a good number) and fold out any random floats. So perhaps the best line is checking river hoping he checks back, and folding to a bet.

I just c/c flop and evaluate turn, probably planning to call down on a lot of runouts to induce bluffs from my tilty opponent.

I thought I misplayed this hand. I think I like your line better. Any more comments would be appreciated.

If we are going to raise flop, we should not be min raising here. 55 would be better.

As played I would rather we take control of the hand and bet the flop ourselves. If villain is tilting it seems that there are a lot of floats, and a lot of smaller pocket pairs in his range that will pay us off 2 streets.

After betting flop and turn, I probably check/eval most rivers.

I don't hate your call pre, but I'd definitely consider 3betting depending on the villains' 3b calling tendencies and the dynamic you have with PFR.

The dynamic you have going also determines the best flop line. If you've been playing back at villain or generally have an aggro dynamic going on with him, then I like the c/r, though I would have sized it more like $55-60 as that's a size you could more feasibly bluff with. If villain views you as someone who is not bluffy, just c/c and let him barrel.

As played, I'd check the turn. The dude still has a very wide range here, and probably won't want to stack off with much of it. It's better to let him put money into the pot with his bluffs than to bet and narrow his range. If he bets an amount that is not pot committing, call; if his bet clearly commits him, CRAI.

Agree with neverscurred.

I'd probably be flatting flop if he doesn't expect you to c/r bluff dry boards and isn't just a spewtard. C/r doesn't get called by much worse. This is why LAG and TAG are almost useless expressions. Need to think closely about tendencies to find best line.
