This is in a non-casino, live game. 10-handed. Half whales (I typically make 80BB an hour here).

350 effective against villain. It's 1-1 and he's straddling for 2.

Fairly sure I'm perceived as the best person in this game: thinking and tricky. I'm perhaps 28-18-7 — wider than I'd normally play as action's good.

Villain would be top-3 there in terms of ability — tight pre, either v aggressive or passive post, and doesn't bluff enough OTT/OTR. I've rarely seen him 3b — it's unusual for this game but he knows my game and knows I'm opening wide from CO — 30-35% or so — with nits in the blinds.

I open CO AQ to 8.

BTN calls; villain in 2-straddle 3bs to 22. (Range here is 10s+, AJs+, AQo+, with few or no bluffs.)

I call, BTN folds.

Pot — 54
Flop: A 10 9

Villain leads for 20. I think for longer than normal and call.

Turn — 94
Board: A 10 9 K
Villain takes v little time and bets 60. Hero?

My concern is mainly what action I can take OTR if I call. Here, I folded, wanting to wait for a better spot.

Would greatly appreciate thoughts on pre and post flop, bearing in mind we're deep here.

Can post villain's hand if anyone's interested.

I think all this hand comes down to would be his willingness to make that turn bet with AJ. If you think he would, or if he could bluff with a hand like 78hh or 78dd this could be a loose call. Otherwise, you'd be burning money.

Well played imo, curious of what he had. AK or TT is my guess.

I think it's a good fold as well, really only good card for you is an offsuit A or J, and sometimes the A may not even be good, but think you would have to call, but you could even be dead to a chop and are likely in bad shape, now if this wasn't such a coordinated draw heavy board with all sorts of possible 2 pair combos as well we could talk about continuing.
