For some reason no hand history converters are working for me...sorry for the ugliness. This guy is a fairly good TAG player, but I saw him call off about 40 bb on a river push when he had an open-ended draw. He is capable of making big bluffs as well.

Im very confused by this one but I think I'd probably call. He doesn't seem to be scared of the flush by his betting so maybe he has it himself?

I was really only worried about the flush...its possible that he had 22, but unlikely. If it was just one buyin, I'd make it a snap call. But since we were both big stacks, I was a bit hesitant.

He ended up being on a bluff with pocket kings. Was a nice pot to take down, but I still don't know if I played it right.

I dont understand the part about calling a push on the river with a draw

I think a 3 bet for information would be nice. You are probably ahead of his range, but it's worth getting more money in, and also going in as pre flop raiser in position.

As played, the flop is fine.

The turn is a horrible card, and I think you have to decide here to push or fold after the check raise. I can't see him checking the river if you call here, so you will be committed to your stacks more often than not by then if you call here. So if you think you are ahead enough get it in, otherwise fold, I can't say which.

As played, call the river. You've already decided he may not have the flush, so you have decent odds to call and still be ahead long term if your read was right.

I don't think your flop raise is big enough, I'd make it closer to $10.

On the turn I don't mind betting but if we bet I think we have to fold to the c/r. Would a "good TAG" really c/r a hand like AK? No, even with the it isn't a certain raise. All you beat on the turn is a bluff. Checking behind on the turn is fine by the way, it is kind of flow and player dependent.

I pop the flop to $11.

Check turn is standard line for me given the villain is a "good" TAG. I plan to call a bet on non-heart river.
