1:30 am the night before a holiday. Max buy-in is $500.

Hero ($550) is 30ish male that moved to this table 90 minutes ago. Has played tight, and went to showdown twice and had it both times.

Villain ($1,500) is an old man, perhaps 70+. Very quiet, hasn't said much. Not an OMC. Appears to play tight pre flop, aggressive post. Recently, saw him call flop OOP with absolutely nothing, and bluff on the river into two opponents when the turn checked through (he held KJo and was called by 2nd pair). Has racked up and is playing his last hand.

Villain is UTG and limps.

Folds to Cutoff, and he limps.

Hero is OTB and raises to $30 with AJ. Blinds fold. Villain and Cutoff call.

Flop ($90 after rake): A96

Checks to Hero, who bets $45. Call, call.

Turn ($225): A

Villain leads out for $200.

Cutoff folds.

Hero?

call, and call any river

What was the CO's stack size? I prefer a bigger bet otf($60-$75) unless you were sizing it to induce a shove from the possibly short stacked CO.

Calling turn and calling any river...

Villain has shown he is capable of making moves so I think we have to assign him a pretty wide range still IMO....

Call turn, if riv gives flush or better then jam if V checks (or raise all-in if V bets).

If river doesn't improve your hand to a flush or better then check/call.

Def call turn, no point of raising, and yeah should have bet bigger on flop. and u can jams on most river for value.

CO had approx. $1,500.

tough spot. People tighten up when they're playing their last hand before the big blind especially when he's got 1500 in front of him. his limp call range can include AK and any set. Even quads if he was racking up and didn't wana blow it all away with aces UTG (it's his last hand he was probably begging not to get aces) the rack is a big key here.

My thought process on the turn was: this is either fold or shove. If I call the turn, my stack is $275 and there is $625 in the pot. I will call any river and shove if he checks to me. So why not get it all in on the turn, or fold if I am beat?

You should shove.

With the way the hand played out, I feel it's unlikely he has 99 or 66 (or A9 A6). He's simply not leading 200 to scare off two opponents who might be drawing, as he should assume all Ax are betting here. Thus, his range here should be flush draws/combo draws or smaller Ax. If the range assessment is valid, there will many river bricks for him, in which case it will be hard for him to bluff into you (what are you calling cold 200 with anyway?). If you shove, he needs only $275 to call with $625 in the pot. He will put you on non heart Ax at this point, any decent draw will be forced to call. River bricks deter his action, shove for value on turn.

Your $30 pre raise reads like KK-JJ. This might have triggered villain's turn lead as a bluff. If you're ever flatting, do so after hollywood tanking 60 seconds, it will increase likelihood that villain will bluff air on river.

If we shove, this very well knocks out a lot of Ax and V will fold....as well as any draws. Why knock him off this range...let him continue. We have position on him...if he checks river then we bet out.

You have $275 after calling turn
Call turn, call any river
If checked to on the river, shove

Hero moves all in. Villain calls. River is the 7s.

Villain tables 66 for the turned boat, and takes the pot. Good game.
