NL25: TP2K re-raised on flop

[slickss]

Tight table, I was doing most of the raising with any decent hand. So I respect his 5xBB pf raise.

I doubt that he is willing to bluff here, so I can't really see what I beat. He wouldn't c/r with anything like AJ? I folded this. What's your line here?

I don't like flatcalling AQo pf ... if he has a tight pf raising range fold, if he has a wide pf raising range RR.

As played fold the turn, that line is uber-strong.

Basically he was so tight I was probably behind already preflop. I raised so many pots they weren't getting a lot of respect, so I don't want to build the pot when I'm afraid of what he is holding. I should probably either fold or be less cautious.

What do you think of my thinking?

I would lean toward a call. He needs to have AK+ here greater than 75% of the time to make the hand a fold on the flop. If he bets the turn you are going to have to reevaluate his hand range. At that point you only need to be 33% of the time to continue. All in all I lean toward a call b/c I often see this line with a set or KK. Given that you have an Ace in makes it less likely that he has 3 AAA and the board is to small to have hit a set very often maybe like 10% of the time. I'd say he has AJ or worse greater than 40% of the time. Call.

Like MT said, it's unlikely he raised 22 or 66 pf and unlikely that he holds AA given two aces on the board. AK beats you, but you have odds to call.
