villain is taggish, so far he seems pretty standard and honest and not too showdown bound, but i haven't played that much with him (60 hands or so).

he opens in co and you 3-bet from sb with K

. the flop is

A

(7.5 sb in the pot)

he calls your continuation bet and the turn is

3

(4.75 bb in the pot)

you...

nothing wrong with betting here. he won't be c/ring very often and there are plenty of 6-7 out hands that will fold.

Plus it serves as a bluff blocker cuz i'm not so sure you have a profitable call on the river if you check behind.

whoops, yeah, you're right. This actually becomes a fair bit nastier when you're oop. cuz he raises flush draws, good str8 draws, and bottom pairs on the flop a fair amount and he flat calls with top pair probably too much. so now you're kinda stuck with bad equity. I dunno. Maybe c/c, c/f. Against a lag like me it's closer to b/f cuz I woulda fastplayed most of my good stuff already. but your average tag doesn't know any better.

15 BB bet is in order. He most likely is putting you on an ace.

I give up actually. I realize the there are a lot of draws to charge but the flop hit a lot of his range and we have a worse hand a lot of the time.

Like people are saying, I assume you woluld've heard from draws as from an ace. My guess is that he has a J, but it's really hard without reads about he plays draws/weak made hands. In the heat of action I would b/f, c/f though. I'd like to see river since we could have up to 10 outs, but more like 6-ish. Against a turn-raise I guess it's 4 and we don't odds to draw.
