Re: is this the easiest situation to fold AA?
I don't see any problem with just calling the flop. The turn card is going to have a big impact on your equity, and if you are fortunate enough to get a turn card you like, you're much happier...

CR'ing the flop sucks because there's a flush draw out and he'll put you on a draw too easily.

Re: Hand Vs Good Player
Against players with TAG stats who take this WA/WB line, I raise the river with anything I'd consider calling with and some things I wouldn't. Good luck with that.
This river bet means 1 of 2...

Re: an objective look at the hand
Ryno, your read in the post is that this guy is pretty passive once an opponent raises once. In this hand, you 4-bet the river and he is 5-betting. You think he is making a thin value 5-bet with...

If you're going to continue, you may as well 3-bet. Give yourself a chance to win unimproved and you may be able to make up the little bit you are losing by calling intending to fold unimproved. ...

Re: The ole\' 4-bet, fold to a 5-bet
Given your read, it seems impossible that you could win. He doesn't sound like the type to give this much action with just 2s full, since you could easily have aces, kings, or jacks to beat him. ...
