AQo - one more if you don't mind

Felt out of control playing this hand. Hindsight being 20/20, MP2 is very tight aggressive - should have had more respect for his PF raise....

If I knew the raiser was tight, I'd probably fold this pre-flop from the button. It's too easy that you're dominated by AA, AK, or QQ, or are already behind KK, JJ, TT. You're only a favorite against AJ, AT, KQ. Since you're in the BB, you're only paying 1SB, so it might be worth calling, but it's close.

The flop is definitely a good one for you, but you need to protect your hand. I'd go for the check/raise here to force the field to call two cold. If you're 3-bet, I call it down. If he just calls, I'd consider leading the turn, but quickly back off if raised.
