5-5 blinds with $300-$1000 buy in (200bbs) at the Hustler Casino in Carson, CA.

Hero: Asian player in his mid thirties, but looks like he's 18 -- carded both by security outside as well as the chip runner. Plays TAG, but appears nitty having not raised a single hand for over 1.5 hours due to being card dead. Limped a few multiway pots in position but relatively inactive. Showed down one winner in hand detailed below.

Villain: White player in mid thirties. Quiet, disheveled. Appears to be a TAG, thinking player. Hero has seen him make a few good hero calls and two big lay downs. Is aware of the table surroundings and watches every hand.

One relevant hand:

About one orbit prior w/ $300 effective stack sizes, stationy MP raises to 20 after having raised only once in my 1.5 hour session with him, MP+1 and Villain calls, Hero calls on button with 610. SB and BB call.
Flop is 553. Checked to MP; MP bets 40, MP+1 & Villain fold. Hero calls. SB folds, BB calls.
Turn is a 7. BB, MP check. Hero bets turn for $120. BB folds, MP tank calls.
River is A. MP checks, Hero open shoves. MP tank calls w/ Ak.

Current hand:

Hero ($1500) on Button
Villain ($1500) on CO
SB ($3000)

Villain raises to $25. Hero looks down at AJ and flats. SB who calls 90% of raises, calls.

Flop is KQ6. Villain bets $80. Hero insta calls. SB folds.

Turn is Q. Villain tanks, then checks.

Hero?

I think as played, if you are going to decide to take this pot you need to decide: ok, am I raising this flop rather than flatting it, or am I going to try to take it on further streets. Since you called the $80. I think you need to bet/fold the turn for ~$150.

If he flats. Be prepared to fire the river barrel as a bluff. I think you should have folded on the flop based on the price. Gotta win/take it away to often. You only had $25 invested n it's not a rainbow board. Quite dirty for the openers assumed preflop opening range.

This guy called you with A high on a turn in the previous hand. I don't know why you want to try to continue to bluff him.
