Villain is a a TAG. We have only been playing half an hour, but he raised 4 times PF - once with JJ, once he folds to a 3bet PF. He has cbet with nothing, then checked through river. He sometimes limps his scs and pps

Villain has about $150 as c/o, I have $250 as BB, and we are playing $2-5

I have JQ in the BB. there are 4 limpers, including villain. I check.

Flop ($18)

AQ5

I lead out $15. All fold to villain who raised me to $50. I call

Turn ($118)

8

Check. Check.

River ($118)

10

Check....

My play on this hand was to isolate hopefully one person with the flush draw, and possibly fold out somebody with A and weak kicker. If called by multiple parties, I will have re-evaluate my plan.

When villain raises me, I feel like he has a flush draw. The raise just feels weak. I think he raises A10+ (and most broadways) PF, and think he calls with Ax on the flop, so I am almost eliminating an A from his range. He might be raising with a made flush or possibly some kind to pair/combo draw. My plan is to bet for value on the turn with a non club, and fold to a shove, which I don't think he does unless he already has made the flush. Same on the river.

Once the club turns, however, I am pretty sure he has made his flush. I am tanking a bit to let him know I am thinking about shoving over or maybe inducing him to bet when I have the nuts, but what I really want is to get to showdown. If he has a low flush, so be it, I just don't know if I could get him to fold, and I don't want to risk him raising me with a K or air, or calling my raise with any If he bets it, I am leaning towards calling a smallish bet as there are limited K/J/10 in his range and I don't think he bets a lot of them anyway, so I think he may be bluffing.

Thought???

I like bet/folding the flop. As played, I like barreling the river here for 2/3 the pot. I think he would fold a Lower club, Ax, and a set. Now that I think about it. His line screams set of 5s.

I didn't include a 55 in his possible range. In any event, you think he would fold a hand that beats me on the river with only $95 behind in a $215 pot?

Yeah but think about it, doesn't it scream 55? Yes actually he has showed weakness when the 4th club came. I think he would fold any ace, two pair, and a set, maybe a low flush.. Maybe.

Turn check shows weakness. I think he may have already made his small flush; I know I would raise here on the flop with a small flush, and this turn would be a stomach punch. After he checks the turn, I am looking to steal on the river. If villain is a TAG, why would you be betting for value on a non-club turn? No doubt he has you beat on the flop. I would just fold this on the flop with middle pair no re-draw.

Yeah, totally missed the 55. Because I had seen him c-bet with air/raise pre to fold to 3bets, I thought he bluffed in dangerous spots, and to me it felt that this was a spot where he might bluff raise with a FD as he might think I was tight and wouldn't be able to take a raise

He did have a small flush. Don't know if I could have pushed him off of it, and I didn't want to turn my hand into a bluff...

I cant get past flop if u want the pot that bad then 4 bet the flop but I'm folding 2nd pair oop no club against decent player.

While I don't think villain is ever nutted here, I also think he's prone to make a hero call a lot based on your turn check.. and the fact that it's lol live poker.

Agreed, folding flop

Fold flop.

However, on river once you get there and he has shown so much weakness I'm inclined to throw in a quite desperate bluff, assuming villain doesn't view hero as spewy/bluffy.
