Yes.

Me no likey this fold. Given that the board paired, villain could easily have put you on a bluff and raised something like KK.

Heck, I'd bet/call this river even if the A hadn't paired, although I'd be willing to entertain arguments about why bet/fold is better.

I don't understand this fold at all. I wouldn't be able to make it without an extremely specific read.

On the outside it looks bad, but I really don't see what Villain is raising here that you beat.

I think we should have checkraised the turn.

Err this probably isn't the case. The villian either has us toasted or he has something like KQ or a pocket pair under jacks. You are almost always going to lose in this spot if you call, but the pot might be big to warrent one. I dunno...I have never called and won in this spot personally (though the river bet is good).

You're almost 90% sure you're beat here? With the right read I can understand, but "Villain seems TAG" isn't enough in my opinion.
