BB has ~1300 and I cover. I open for 30 in CO with A2o. BB calls.
Pot=65 Flop is AdQd2x, I bet 50 BB makes it 160, I call.
Pot= 385 Turn is an offsuit jack. BB bets 320, I?

I have fair amount of history w/BB. He's a winning TAG, somewhat nitty. He's capable of making moves, but doesn't run huge multi-street bluffs. I think he never has air, but could have a FD. He also doesn't make thin calls. If I call, my plan is to fold to a river shove. I also think folding is out of the question. Does anybody like a flop 3b?

I might consider folding unless you think that he will raise the flush draw and barrel both turn and river with it no matter how it comes. But TAG, and somewhat nitty doesn't sound like that. It's also not a board where guys try and get crazy on that often.

I don't like the flop 3-bet that much cause he can probably only stack AQ/22/KdTd

would bb not 3bet AQ / AA / QQ pre? i think i'm raising the flop, because he (should?) be 3betting most of the hands that beat you pre so you're not super-spewing, and also turn and river cards are just going to be bad for you, filling up possible Ax hands and draws, and you would hopefully freeze turn action and let you bluff catch a smaller pot on the river.

He's usually 3-betting AA and QQ and usually flatting AQ

It really depends on your specific read on his strength at the time. He has to have specifically a FD for you to have the best hand. I am most likely folding the turn.
