A6s on tight table.

Very tight table, folded around to the blinds on occassions, usually only 2 or 3 to a pot- yes i was about to change tables [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Villain was 33/5 over 10 or so hands, so nothing to really go on.

Too aggressive?

These are really the hardest hands to play, IMO. Preflop is fine but I'd feel just that much more comfortable in MP3.

Flop and turn bets are cool, but you've got to wonder what better hand he's folding on the river and what worse hands he's calling with. If he missed a [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] draw he's surely folding. If he called the turn with 77, A8, etc., he's surely calling.

I think check calling or check folding the river is best in hands like this, because he's usually only calling your bet with better hands, and occasionally he will check through a better hand, which is awesome for you.

I'm a n00b, but I hear replying without looking is a good way to learn and so...

Villian has pretty good odds to call a flush draw all the way down, so I think your aggression is good. I'd think with a Q or turned straight he would have at least raised the river (but I'm surprised all the time).

Although, yesterday I suggested someone fold a BPTK, so what do I know.

Hell, if nothing else you can hope that everyone notices you bet every street with bottom pair. That'll come in handy later.

I'm usually check/calling this river, but the rest I like.

I don't bet the river here. Villian will often check through hands that beat you here, and he's not calling with much you beat (considering you said it was a tight table). Rest is fine.

I fold PF - ace-rag suited in MP2 is mediocre at best at a tight table (risk > reward IMO). MP3 is a bit better - but I'd wait till at least CO.

Ace rag suited in MP on a tight table is an easy fold for me.

If the table is tight, you should be raising more hands preflop, not folding more.
