Villian is a 15/7.5, probably not a winner but very tight, weakish, and the first time I've seen him raise in an hour playing against him. 99/55 everytime?

What's your table image? I could see villain playing AQ or KQ like this.

Do you know what his cold calling frequency is? I find this to be a really useful stat.

Re: AA vs a set miner
 

AQ/KQ should be a pretty big part of your range here. His hand looks like a bluff or at least a strong enough Q that will want to put another bet in on the river.

Therefore, it would be reasonable to play AQ/KQ the way you did, and you'll have that often enough that folding now is OK.

I read too many game theory books.

call if you hate money.

OP,

Poker threads are OK here. But topics much more complicated and interesting than this.
