Default $1 +.20 Rags in the BB - 2 Limpers...

MP: 840
CO: 2,540
BTN: 1,740
SB: 1,855
Hero (BB): 2,700
UTG: 930

Pre-Flop: (45) :5d :6c dealt to Hero (BB)
UTG folds, UTG+1 calls 30, Observer folds, MP calls 30, 2 folds, SB calls 15, Hero checks

Flop: (120) :3h :Kh :3c (4 Players)
SB checks, Hero checks, UTG+1 checks, MP checks

SB checks, Hero checks, UTG+1 bets 60, 2 folds, Hero calls 60

River: (240) :As (2 Players)
Hero checks, UTG+1 checks

Should I have been aggressive here, and if so, where?

Not much background to offer here other than that I have a pretty TAG image. Winning the couple of pots I've entered into.

I don't think this was played badly. On the turn there are many arguments for folding, but this is also a draw a lot, so I don't mind the call once it's HU. If there was one caller in front though I'd probably fold.

Also keep in mind though I'm more used to 6-max tourneys which are much more aggro, so I don't know how well my experience translates to FR games.

No you should not have been more aggressive.

I'd probably dump it on the turn, no reason to get invested.

Villain has 77?

noted.. Thanks

BTW villian had
:Jd :Ks
obv, not getting involved was the better play, although I can't see why he didn't bet. He couln't have thought he was beat!

There's only 2 sixes left. Pot odds.

Maybe more background was needed. My wife was watching me play this. Whenever she watches 666 always comes out. Does that mean anything?

^^^
I'm almost kidding about that. Yeah, I know pot odds say fold, but wouldn't this fall into the category of "gambling"? If it misses, I lose another 60, if it comes I stand to gain lots more. I didn't do EV calculation. Am I -EV by a lot here?
