Looking for some general advice on the hands I played against Villain.

Some background on the villain: I've been playing with this villain for the last couple sessions, he is a mid 20's asian guy, plays TAG. He is a thinking player, tends to 3bet and usually plays big pots.

First hand:

AJo in MP, effective stacks ~900. UTG bets 25, UTG+1 calls, I call. Villain re-raises to 105, everyone folds, I call. Villain has me covered.

Flop ($260): AJ9r
I check, V bets $150. I call.

Turn ($560): 5
I bet 100. V calls.

River ($760): 4
I go all in for ~535. V tanks and folds.

I took an unusual line on the turn here because I thought he would check behind and because it would look unusual to him (maybe I can come off as bluffy). I also suspected him to have a high pocket pair or AK. Looking back, with the play I did, I probably should have bet more on the turn if I took the same line again.

After this hand, he asked me if I had a Ace or set, I told him I didnt want to reveal. But 30 minutes later, he asked me again and I let him know I had the Ace.

Second hand:

A5o in MP, stack is about ~100. Straddle is on button (villain). UTG limps, folds to me, I raise to 50. Villain calls, UTG folds.

Flop ($110): Q9T
I bet $75. Button calls.

Turn ($260): 5
I bet $220. Button calls.

River ($700): 2
I go all in for ~$600. V folds.

Usually I don't play this hand but game flow led me to take a shot. It ended up turning into a 3 barrel bluff because that was the only way I could win. Important thing to note is that I was barely playing any hands this session because I wasn't getting anything playable so I probably had a pretty tight view of me and it was against the same villain.

Just do the opposite of what you did at every decision point and your game will improve rapidly

Ha, I know it seems ridiculous but only posted them because I thought they were interesting hands.

Fold to 3b in hand 1
Vs his AK, AQ he will likely barrel turn and can stack him on turn or river.

If he checks TP type hands here, then bet turn more like half pot and he is given great odds to call your river jam with AK,AQ

If he checks behind on turn his range is likely KK/QQ, and can bluff catch a bigger river bet, instead of just 100

Fold pre hand 2, and just give up on that flop

Both hands are mistakes against an actually TAG opponent. They might be workable against a LAG but against a TAG they are bad.

In hand 1 you are dominated too often against a TAG opponent and not nearly deep enough to fish for a favorable flop. Against a very aggro laggy opponent you could reraise if you think he has enough bluffs in his range but should still fold otherwise. AJo is just a terrible hand for calling a 3 bet because if you catch one pair you still have no idea if you are ahead or not. Post flop you are fine except for the turn sizing.

Hand 2 has the same sort of problem. Against a sticky lag that likes to take pots away from opponents on turn/river this sort of line is workable very rarely. Against a tag this is a great flop to just give up. This smacks a tag opponents calling range. He will have too many hands that won't give up before river or won't give up at all. You are pushing too much money in the pot to find out if he will fold AQ/KQ/QJ.

These are bad.

Fold pre both times in H1.

Fold pre in H2.

J,

I play super loose and play waaaaay too many hands, but that AJo call of the re-raise is simply terrible.
