JJ w/ no overcards vs. a TAP

BB has been pretty tight (VP$IP 24%) and aggressive, tough to get a read on him. I could have raised more PF, but I do not think that slows BB down, thoughts?

1) I hate the min-raise pre-flop. raise to at least $2 or limp.
2) With this flop, I would probably just reraise and put BB all-in. You could easily be ahead of a lot of hands that would play like this, and with such short stacks, this isn't a spot where I mind going to the felt.

As it is, I think that this is an auto-call, unless you think that this player is so tight he only plays QQ, KK or AA like this.

Damn you, you were supposed to curse me out, oh well. I was BB with AQo - guess I need to start playing deeper stacks - I know a cop out. Seems like all you can do at these stakes is wait for a hand and value bet.

Yeah, at these stakes, bluffing like that is almost NEVER a good idea. Just wait for a hand and value bet to death. You'll get paid off.
