200NL- He either has AK or AQ here and I lose to AQ
 

Villain is tomtom2 and has tag stats. He hasn't 3bet me this sesh. Now I guess he could have QQ or like KK but it seems more like AK or AQ because he checked the flop.

This is pretty read based and I wouldn't hate a calldown, but two things make me want to fold. 1: lots of tags don't have the balls to double barrel this river with AK. 2: he should put you on 99-JJ pretty easily based on preflop action, and he should be pretty aware that your range is transparent. I think that makes it less likely for him to bluff and more likely to value. of course it depends on your image... metagame is weird.

I like a fold but in the moment I might call because i'm a station.

Flop/turn seem fine. I think I just c/f river even though your hand is pretty defined.

eewww...sick spot, since he hasn't been out of line, i'm inclined to believe he'd be the flop with AA/KK...

aiy, would he really bet this river if he didn't have u beat, not sure imo, i think i muck it here

I have this hand on video as I was making a video at the time and you will probably hear a lot of cursing during this time I think.

this isnt a std double barrel spot. seems like an ez fold

against tomtom I think that you should check/fold the turn. He's TAP, not TAG

You bet, a good player shoves 100% of his range, now what? Doesn't sound like fun to me.

These are tricky, read- and image-based spots. You don't "have" to do anything at any point.
