Table was generally tight, most pots were taken uncontested preflop. Villain was 22/4 and had a WTSD-Rate of arount 43%. Any comments are greatly appreciated!!

Thanks, Tackleberry

DOn't see much that you can beat...I'd generally not open w/ AT from EP so I'd avoid situations like this.
Other wise I like the river block bet to get value out of hands that we do beat and makes it clear when we are beat.

"Normally" I don´t do that either. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] But I had (or should had) a tight, solid image and had not played for a while. Additonally - as I said - the table was very, very tight. But maybe this is another example for situations where it might be better to steal with *** - to have an easier decision in case of being called - [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I'd fold pre...but as played your line is good, just fold river now.

tackle...I like the hand okay but the tight table read shoul make the river a tough but correct fold...hand looks good as played

I like everything except the bet on the river. I'd prefer a check/call.
