Background:

You're playing in a $1/$2 game at your local casino. It's folded to you in the cut-off and you raise to $10 with AhKc. The button calls and the blinds fold. Your read on the button is he's a fairly average TAG. Not great, but probably a marginal winner in this game. The flop comes As8dTc. You bet $14 and he calls. The turn comes 3s. You bet $35 and he calls. The river comes 3d.
