If we check, there is a decent chance he checks behind here with a lot of his value hands no? He may continue his bluff but I've shown no indication I am folding. The pot is more than I have so I am not sure he believes I will fold or not.
So is a shove best or are we afraid of QT that much?
Similar to my analysis you are definitely a thinking player and will continue to do well I think.
However, there is absolutely not reason you should ever consider one iota about villain having Q10 here. It is not relative to the situation or any serious analysis.
Also, 22, like Q10 is just not relative in any way.
Also, as to your OP, be very careful about labeling 'table images' of yourself based off what you WANT the villains to see you as. That can be a huge mistake. For all you know, TAG did not even see your Q8o.
Also, before you begin to assume that there sparks between you and another player, such as light 3 betting or playing back at eachother you need a pretty big sample for this or extremely obvious hand history that shows he does some things much differently versus you than against any other player.
Don't get into the habit of leveling yourself is what I mean. It's a mistake that I used to make and it would cost me money.
