AJ vs a tight player

[stardustakos]

Opponent is tight and here shows a lot of strength so I fold. What do you think?

I'd definitely fold here too. If he's tight he's probably not playing this line with AT or worse. Actually I'd probably just fold to the pot sized check raise on the flop most times.

dont think youd do c/r on the flop with AQso+, more likely a set... anyway its a fold

[stardustakos]

yeah I think at least AK

is this a 2.20mtt? Problem is people sometimes play so carelessly those stakes as I saw earlier I guy 3xed 82o I know his hand is irrelevant but still....As I was saying they play so carelessly that A7 for them sometimes is the nuts here, or they might play diamond draws like this. It's just tough but you know more than me playing at these stakes.

[stardustakos]

Yes I know what you mean Dv. I have got my share of crazy in theese stakes, I have time tanked to make a "close" call very often only to see that I was against trash. Here though I think it is legit according to my read and player's profile

[fulksy]

is tight aggro, would he 3 bet AK here pre?

[ManicLombax]

I think there are very very few players that don't 3-bet AK in a $2.20. Bad players 3-bet it because they think it's the nutz. Good players 3-bet it a lot of times because they get called so often by AQ, AJ or worse.

yeah I think at least AK

I think It could also be AQ even AJ. Still the postflop action is what made me fold. c/r flop and leading turn shows me that he is strong. Don't forget we could be up against a set. He could complete w 55,44 and c/r flop. Our image is also TAG so his read on us is a strong Ace, ideal for set against top pair decent kicker situation.
