How about the turn and river? If I dun hit a J, do I still call down to showdown? Sometimes, with a 3rd of 4th ranked kicker, I'm worried I get outkicked, and not sure if folding would become a leak.

It doesn't look good to you on the flop. With that tight a PFR range you're often toast. You are beaten by all the other aces a reasonable guy would 3-bet preflop vs. a TAG open-raising from MP: AK,AQ,AT and split with AJ. Most of the time you won't see 3-bets preflop with aces worse than that and this guy's apparently really tight. You're dead vs. AA.

This is a wa/wb situation. You lose the minimum and win the maximum if you just c/c all streets postflop and only raise if a J falls (potentially winning more from AK/AQ). By raising you just cost yourself more money when behind and potentially scare away JJ-KK and all KQ,KJ,QJ combos apart from [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img][img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] - and most of these seem unlikely given his stats.

And I think you'd like to keep BTN in the pot as his range you might beat.

well you pretty much have to c/c that turn, but if it was scary you could bet it

Why did you bet the flop?

here are one of the situations that you are far behind or far ahead. Don`t need to bet, just call down,if he has KK QQ JJ, he may pay you, if he has AQ AK, you are simple almost dead
