NOTE: THE FOLLOWING IS NOT INTENDED AS INSULT, JUST CRITIQUE BASED ON THIS HAND

Hero needs to 4-bet AA preflop, because if the play of this hand is any indication he plays poorly postflop. Against a tight and rather aggressive player who has been observed to win over half of the hands he goes to showdown with, hero's situation looks increasingly grim the more time he spends with villain postflop.

Hero has failed to bet or raise when needed, and on the river assumes the only hands that play aggressively are ones that beat him, instead of considering that a winning TAG will view weakness on the flop and river as reason to kick hero's face in on the river. As far as I can tell, villain sensed that the two jacks on the flop caused hero to lose confidence in his holding, and that hero would crumple under heavy pressure. He was right.

The solution here is for hero to start working heavily on his postflop skills, posting here regularly, giving careful consideration to the advice held in responses to his posts. Eventually, he will develop strong postflop skills. Until then, play big pairs hard preflop and be content to win the amount of the initial raise.
