Doing a Poker challenge with a friend which grinding up through the micro stakes for 2 weeks starting at 2nl. Anyway today Im at a 5nl table. Villain is a TAG. playing 21/18 over 400 hands. Likes to 3 bet KQ,AQ,AK, 99+ from the blinds. has a 3bet% of 5%. I did not expect him to show up with the hand he did.. I was thinking of 2 pair or a set possibly. Should i of layed it down earlir? get un-lucky? things to look out for or do differently?. Any help or suggestions would be wonderful. Thank u.
