I recently dropped down to 10nl so that I could learn to open up my pre-flop range and play a LAG-ier style whilst paying more placid opponents (and paying less for my inevitable mistakes in the process). So now I'm running 22/18 over 4k hands with a 7% 3bet and a 53% ATS.
I'm getting a bit paranoid though that at times some of the regular players are playing back at me since they probably think I'm full of crap. I've thrown away some decent TPTK/overpairs when raised on the turn vs some regs and wondered afterwards was I being too weak at the time. So anyway this hand is from a session earlier:
Villain is a regular at 16nl and 10nl. Seems to be playing a solid TAG game. Starts tables at both limits. Plays a lot of tables at once. He's beating both games at a low rate according to the hands I have on him

Ok obviously this is a poor decision by me. He's got a 33% ATS and a 80% fold to 3bet. I honestly don't know what I was thinking. I was probably playing too many tables and saw that he had a low cbet-flop so thought that it might be easier to play OOP post-flop with him

I think this is standard enough although I'd be interested to hear of any alternative strategies. My plan for the hand at this point was to check/call it down.

Hero checks,
BTN bets $0.85,
Hero raises to $2.35,
BTN (goes into the Time Bank and waits for it to go all the way down to 1 second)
raises to $12.94 and is all-in, Hero ?
I thought about calling behind again but what veered me toward raising was the thought that there were probably a lot of K-x type hands in his range that I didn't fancy giving a free card to and I could get some value from them before they became worthless on a brick river. Since I've played this hand so passively his range is super wide so I think I'm certainly ahead. But then he shoves and suddenly I need to revisit that assumption
