Kill pot

Killer checks, decent tag raises in mp, nit calls on the button, I three bet QQ in the small blind, bb folds and the other three call.

Flop is TT4r

I bet, killer calls, tag raises, nit folds, I call, killer calls.

Turn is 6r

Checks round

River is 7

I check, killer checks, tag bets, I raise

I'm probably three-betting the flop and then just calling down if I get raised again by the TAG. We are probably way ahead of TAG (lower pair, some random semibluff) or way behind (T, KK, or AA). So in this big pot, there is some value in folding out the killer who is the most likely to have a random A or K in his hand, and if he calls three bets with worse, great. If killer wakes up with a T, so be it.

As played, I would bet the river. TAG is unlikely to be checking back the turn with a better hand, and I wouldn't bank on him deciding to bet the river with worse. And I hate putting in three bets when it was some sort of trap play on the turn.

Reraise flop... I don't know if he's iso with ATs JTs T9s but I can see us 3b these pre? and wouldn't he 4b with AA KK pre?

I use "?" because it's been a while since I have hit LHE tables. Back in the days of DuecesCracked and PokerBob it was taboo to call in the sb?
