200NL AJs flops TPTK in a raised mw-pot
 

This table is one of the Eurobet tables after Party-split. The play has been extremely tight-passive this far with table having a couple of TAG's and a few rocks waiting for hands. I thought this was a perfect spot to try LAG it up and so my PFR this far has been 20% and my VP$IP 32. SB in this hand is one of the new players and he's the only LAP in the table while BB is a TAG.

Hero ($209.50)
Button ($219.55)
SB ($198)
BB ($246.04)
UTG ($344)
MP ($264.10)

Preflop: Hero is CO with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $1.
UTG calls $2, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $8</font>, Button calls $8, SB (poster) calls $7, BB calls $6, UTG folds.

Flop: ($34) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets $25</font>, BB calls $25, Hero ???

What's my move here?

Raise to $85 fold to push.
Folding here depends a great deal on your read on SB and BB and on how active the players are behind you postflop.
Calling makes no sense to me at all, there are next to no cards you want to see on the turn.

What if Hero had lets say: QQ, KK, or AA in that same scenario... Would it be basically the same advice?

Im really in favor of raising there. I think it's the only play. You shouldn't fold at this point and you can't flat call. If it was me, I'd pot it, not sure what I do if its reraised... depends on my read.

I'd imagine so.

I raise to 10 preflop. Passive SB leads and TAG BB smooth calls knowing the preflop raiser is still to act. Looks like you are behind here. I don't mind a fold, and second choice would be to raise to 100.
