HU hand vs TAgg on an AA2 flop

Villian is TAggy, hasn't been opening up enough pots. I've laid down to him a few times, so I think he's made a play or two but can't be sure.

I've come back from behing behind 3:2 (and more) by lucking into a tie AJ vs AT, then winning the better end of 2 Ax vs Kx twice.

My post flop image is kinda passive. Have been taking a lot of stabs but haven't done anything really out of line yet (feel no need because he's givng me a walk too often.)

It's heads up and I have him convered with 2 pretty good cards. What range do you think I should play here?

Same tourney, if you didn't like that hand you'll HATE this one...

I actually like your play on the last hand. You had a Q with a soooted kicker and he just did a normal 3x BB bet. You caught middle pair and made a play with it. Nice and agressive post flop.

if he is a TAG i wouldn't be calling his raises much, I would just be chipping away at him.

First Hand:Call flop, then on the turn check raise AI.
