We are playing 10 handed 1/2 NL. Villian is UTG + 1 and I am in mid-position.

Villian hasn't played many hands and has a really tight image.

Villian $150~
Hero $300~

Hero has JhJc

1 Fold
Villian bets $18
2 Fold
Hero calls
All fold.

Flop Kc 4h 7s (pot ~= $40)
Villian checks
Hero checks

Turn 4d (pot ~= $40)
Villian bets $20
Hero calls

Turn 9c (pot ~= $80)
Villian thinks then bets $30
Hero ?

Would you have played this hand differently? What are you putting villian on throughout the hand? Would you fold to the turn bet of only $20?

Call. I play it the same. A normal TAG would not slowplay AK, so either your hand is good or you pay off to QQ.

Edit: You might consider betting out on the flop since you have position. If he raises you can fold, but if he just calls you can fire again on the turn. This protects your hand from AQ and might make QQ/JJ lay down.

I would bet the flop. You can fold to a raise or a big lead out on the turn. As played I call. You are risking $30 to win $110 and you are good enough times to do so.
