Villain is rather good TAG 19/16/5. 3bets a bunch (like 9%). I'm not really sure what his frequencies are after checking the flop as the preflop reraiser. I fold to a lot of 3bets, probably 70%.

Flop: ($92, 2 players)
SB checks, Hero checks

I didn't really want to bet here because essentially it only protects me from getting 6 outed or bluffed on the turn and I really have no clue what it means for him to check after reraising. He could easily be going for a check/shove. I guess this is a pretty good flop for cbetting for him which also makes taking a stab worse.

Turn: ($92, 2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $40,

At this point I figured his range was made up of 2 main things. Firstly he could have just given up on the pot and secondly he could be pot-controlling a ten or some other weak made hand which he plans to check/call with. I bet small because I want to try and get value from AK/AQ/ or 88 or something. I don't believe he is folding a ten unless I pot it or something. This bet also gives me cheap information I guess. (whether or not I can use that info correctly is another matter as we'll see).

SB raises to $349, Hero calls $309

When he shoved I felt really compelled to call just because his line didn't make much sense. I was pretty sure that he was capable of checking a strong made hand on the flop but I would imagine that he would lead the turn with those hands so I don't just check to showdown. I also thought that I could have induced a bluff from him because of my bet size. He could be thinking that I have nothing and I just want to steal the pot as cheaply as possible and decide to rebluff me.

The CO is a loose TAG 27/21/4.6. He seemed solid from the short time I'd been playing with him. I'd been 3betting him a good bit in position. The SB is a drooler 41/6/1.4. This was the third time he had cold called a 3bet from me in about a half hour. All of the other times I missed on a bad flop and I ended up having to fold. I don't think he is necessarily hugely strong here.

Flop: ($148, 3 players)
SB checks, CO checks, Hero checks

I decide to check behind because my hand isn't a monster and I would like to see another street of action before I decide to commit.

Turn: ($148, 3 players)
SB checks, CO checks, Hero bets $55,

Once they all check to me I decide my hand is good here most of the time and I decide to bet for value.

SB folds, CO raises to $210,

I assumed that given the flop action he would have bet the turn with any strong hands in his range so I found it pretty difficult to put him on a strong hand. I also think my line looks pretty weak since I checked the flop behind when it was 3 way. Hence I though there had to be a lot of bluffs in his range and I decided not to fold.

Hero goes all-in $440.60
