    Default Are Tagg regulars ever bluffing here?

    Villain seems like a Tagg regular.
    I don't have any other reads than that.

    In general, when a Tagg takes a bet flop, check turn, bet river line, they are rarely bluffing, right?
    In this situation, he takes this line and pots the river, so I was quite sure that I was beat. However, I don't think I can fold this.

    Thoughts on situations like this?
    Is AJ a fold here?

    $2/$4 No Limit Holdem
    5 players
    Converted at weaktight.com

    Stacks:
    UTG ($361.90)
    CO ($849.45)
    BTN ($815.90)
    SB ($400.00)
    Hero (BB) ($400.00)

    Pre-flop: ($6, 5 players) Hero is BB
    3 folds, SB raises to $12, Hero calls $8

    Flop: ($24, 2 players)
    SB bets $16, Hero calls $16

    Turn: ($56, 2 players)
    SB checks, Hero checks

    River: ($56, 2 players)
    SB bets $55, Hero calls $55

    I guess would call here because of our hand strength relative to what range he's betting with. I don't think he's bluffing very often but without any mention of his abilities I assume he can have like A10/AJ here. He can also have some small diamonds as well probably. I'm really tempted to fold though because of his sizing.

    getting my swell on
    i would call. i mean, just cause he's not pure bluffing very often doesnt mean we arent ahead of his value-betting range right? i often see tags take this line with Ax.

    I'd expect a tag to value bet TPGK less tbh. I also dont expect them to bluff because I dont expect you to fold much of your range.
    Just dipping my toes back in.

    This is really weird with his turn check. I think we should call as he can have like Ax(unlikely imo)/KQ and then something like JT that we lose to.

    In a word, yes. Especially BVB. Even more so from a 22/17 than a 17/15.
    The line sure seems like a whiffed turn CR & trying to make up value on the river or JT. I don't mind a fold here without better reads though b/c the bet sizing doesn't jive w/ Ace rag. I'm much more likely to call this BvB than otherwise. A SB steal % would be very helpful.

    like meeloche said, i would call because of our hand strength is too strong to fold after the river. however this is usually a value line and i wouldn't be calling here with Ax. this hand being bvb makes me want to call this more also.
    eeevees are not monies yet...they are like baby monies.

    vs most tagfish I fold given betsize. Also LOL at this:
    I was quite sure that I was beat. However, I don't think I can fold this.
    Edit: If he opens dumb hands like Q3/Q4 then it's a call.
