Wiggs: I posted the hand because it is unusual for me to go so strongly with a purely read based play and then afterwards I ran it through pokerstove and find that I have massive equity on the flop:

Hand 0: 75.057% 72.84% 02.22% 193972 5912.00 { Ah9c }
Hand 1: 24.943% 22.72% 02.22% 60514 5912.00 { 22+, A2s+, KTs+, QTs+, JTs, T9s, 98s, 87s, 76s, 65s, 54s, A2o+, KTo+, QTo+, JTo }
So I made a play where after his 3 bet I was convinced a flop shove would have so much fold equity that it was 90%+ sure to work: He definitely folds AK, KK, KQclubs, anything less than a set.
Then I reevaluated and given the real equity I had on the flop, I thought that maybe I should have turned the bluff into a real hand and flatted his c-bet.
I'm playing $25nl first session of the day to get my poker brain in gear, then I move to $50nl so I'm happy to play some regs: I'm still learning how to exploit a TAG so I'm happy to play lower level regs and experiment: As Gigabet once said, sometimes you have to put yourself into marginal situations to learn.
Otherwise, I think your advice is exactly what I follow under normal circumstances, thanks.
