First time posting have been playing for 5 years.
I was playing a 5 handed 2-100 game I straddled. Under the gun opens to 14 there is one caller. I look down at AA Make it 54 original better calls other player folds. Flop is JJ4 i make it 50 he max bets to 150, He has about 170 behind i have him covered. The player is tight. What do you guys think is the right play here. I have a hard time putting him on AJ or 44 calling 54 preflop. Is making it 250 the right play here or fold.
Thanks

Also are you in MN? The only place I know of that has 2-100.

Could be in Colorado too.

Any reads on this player besides "tight"? If he's really "tight" he shouldn't be raising AJ or 44 UTG most likely.

But in 1/2 players are liable to be ******ed even if they are tight. I say get it in and stack the chips of KK, QQ from this player most of the time.

Really?

You want to 5x his bet?
Is this just because it is a spread limit game, or would this be your normal 3bet sizing? It just seems so huge.

I think $54 was fine here but then again I don't play SL so there might be something I'm not considering.

I'd call his bet and then crai on any turn. If he has a J then he gets my stack imo.

What Jack said. 2-100 SL is a silly silly game.

If UTG is tight, as you say, I think his most likely holding is an overpair (QQ or KK). Even if he raises hands like AJ, KJs, or QJs UTG I doubt he's calling your pretty big 3bet with those. Was there 2 to a flush out there? If so, and prob even if not, I'd raise to $250. No way I fold with the effective stacks, and if you just call he may shut down on later streets if a flush card comes in or he thinks you must have a J.

There was no flush draw out there. Usually whenever I played him it was when he was short stacked and played tight or shove but shoves with pockets, AK or AQ but he ended up having AJ off and got a double up.

Its live 1/2, I wouldn't under estimate his ability to show up with a Jack. I'd imagine he would come over the top with KK nearly 100% of the time preflop.

You describe villain as tight, so its hard to say what he is call your preflop 3-bet with and deciding to shove. JJ-QQ, AK, seldom KK seems like the range that a tight player might call. In which case other than quad Jacks you are likely ahead of his shove. If villain is the type of player that opens tight but calls 3-bets more liberally, he could show up here with a Jack here.

Just one of those way ahead or way behind situations.

More speculation on the location of the game, please. It's obvious OP doesn't know where he's at.

Also, more personal opinions about the pros and cons of spread limit. For my spread limit opinions journal.
