This is a 5/10 hand and I'm posting it here because this is a really close situation, I want to get advice from players that are stronger than me, and because it's a situation that applies across the limits. If you don't like it don't respond or report me to a mod. I don't think this is out of line.
Villian is a solid TAG by stats (24/19/2.2) over 331 hands. I don't have any other read.

I had Brazilio look a buncha hands over for me, and this is what he said about this one:

You know what he has, but I never fold either. Capping preflop is a good option, not sure about that BB calling 2. ez cap HU

Two questions:
1) I tend to see BB calling as a reason
to cap, since I get a nice overlay. I haven't looked up this guys stats, but I'm assuming anyone who calls there like that is a donk, and has either got AA or is worse.
2) Can you find a fold on this river? I remember the hand vividly. The jack fell, I said "Don't have AJ" and bet. He raised, I called. Can't I fold here?
