BB is very tight and not very aggressive preflop but is okay postflop. The button is loose, but no further read.

BB sure isn't playing tight in this hand, but if that's your read, I'm probably folding the river.

Edit: Furthermore, I've seen very tight players play AA this way on several occasions. That's what I think he has.

Why go into call down mode when a loose player makes a single raise and there's only one overcard to your pocket pair?

Folding isn't an option since the turn checked through. Raising doesn't look so good either as you will only be called by hands that beat you. The only argument that can be made for raising is that you might get the button to fold a scared ace but I don't think that the pot is large enough to warrant that. Call.

Do you usually call these down? I mean if the button bets the turn and river.

It looks like you were going to here because I'm assuming you're calling the turn unimproved if you called the flop raise and ditto the river, unless you think that the button's betting on all three streets greatly increases his chance of having an A so you fold the river, but I'd guess you don't do this because the pot is big by then.

I was planning on folding the turn unimproved because the BB coldcalled the flop raise. If I'd picked up a gutshot, I might have stuck around for 1 bet.

So if the flop was A9xr then you're folding to the flop raise.?
Do you really think that the draw to a gutshot draw makes much difference?

I don't like to fold to raises on the flop if I have a legitimate hand. You never know, you may see a free river.

I think in this case you have to fold to the flop raise. Metagame considerations and your very longshot outs just won't ever make up this 1 SB in an on-line 3/6 game.

Yeah it's a factor but this happens like 10% of the time I would say. That's just a complete guess though based it never happening when I want it to.
