Ok I think 3betting this nit, raising UTG was not the best. I should look for better spots.
I checked the flop, AK was the only hand I could get out if his range qwas TT+, AK

Turn: ($25.50) A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 Players)
UTG checks, Hero ???

What is our plan now? Do we just check or do we try to take it down on the turn? I think he can put us on AK, AQ. Is this nit willing to laydown TT-KK here?

out of the ashes into the fire eh? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

given that you didn't bet the flop, id stab it right now (basically i don't think nitty has very many AQ in his range unless you've been goofing it up pre?)
his 15% wtsd (is that correct?) also indicates that he's unlikely to make herocalls right?

EDIT: as for betsize, i think 16-17 is enough with that ace on the flop

somewhere in the vaults of 2+2 i remember a post from some acknowledged poster who wrote exactly bout this phenomenon: you make one questionable decision early in a hand, and it will come back to haunt you later on. this hand fits in quite nicely.
