This is a good reg player 22/17/451
Basically Im transforming my AKs to TT+ here. When I bet on the flop and he calls, I decide to shut down on the turn if I dont hit my hand. 7 on the turn just seems too good not to bet, because this player is the definition of TAG, he always plays his good hands aggressive. Here I feel Im only losing to A7 and Im putting him on some A5,A6, 55,66 maybe (obviously easier to put him on a hand when I know he has folded)
Also, I know this player understands Sngs somewhat good and he could definitely fold even better hands like 88 and 99

It’s an interesting hand I think and I would most likely bet smaller on every street. Now you could end up in an ugly spot if he shoves on the turn with only 630 chips left, but further is you analyze fine I think and it’s likely a 2nd barrel will work a lot against a regular like him.
