I get schooled

Just when I thought I was starting to figure this poker thing out....

Villain has seemed like a solid but unspectacular TAG up to this point.

I know that I should have laid down to the turn cap, but it's hard to do there...and I would've gone on thinking I'd just lost to a JJ that got a lucky hit.

Anyone else love villain's play in this situation (i.e., heads up against a known aggressive player)?

The line villain took with AA is quite standard for me when I'm up against another TAG HU. I don't do it all the time, but I do it reasonably often. And yeah, I'd call the checkraise and call the river. 3-betting is insane unless you're planning on folding to the cap.

ding ding ding!

First time I'd seen that play, and I guess that I'm so used to 3-betting the AJ "slowplay" that I didn't stop to think.

Ah well...it cost me some chips, but that's the only way to learn this game.
