The game is 1/2 10-handed.
Hero ($200): 21 year old white guy. Played with villain a bit the day prior, but didn't have any big hands with him. He views me as a solid TAG.
Villain ($200): sat down to my direct left about an orbit ago and has been playing somewhat LAGGy. He talks a lot of poker and is apparently used to higher stakes up to 5/10. He thinks he's a great player, but I've seen him do what IMO are mildly fishy plays and he himself says he can't do well at 1\2.
Anyway, he is thinking about higher level concepts like ranging, implied odds, etc.
Hero raises AQo to $16 UTG. Only V calls (odd for the table)
Flop ($31):
7
4
2
Hero checks, V bets $15, Hero calls.
I am not ready to give up on such a dry flop against this V with my strong UTG opening range, even OOP. He surely has a much wider range than he should here and I expect him to have a mix of weakish pairs protecting equity against overcards, air and sets, all of which may not be in his range.
Is this OOP float a bad idea? I could fold now or c-bet, but I would be checking most of my value range on a flop like this.
I intend to bet any A, K, Q or J turn and probably x/f others.
Turn ($60):
Ax (probably not rainbow but I don't remember)
Checks through.
I changed my mind about betting this turn because it hits my range so hard and I don't know what worse would call me. I decide to turn my hand into a bluffcatcher, but he doesn't bite.
River ($60)
Kx (no flushes possible)
Checks through. This is a terrible card as now I really don't think any worse calls. I check to give him a chance to bluff although I don't think he's likely to try. Maybe I should give off a reverse tell as I check? He's the kind of V to look for and pick up on this kind of thing if I am subtly convincing.
Floating OOP and making no money when I hit seems really fishy. Advice on any street would be appreciated.
