Too Aggressive?

[Mathieu]

Preflop: Villain sounds very tight. If this is over many hands, I might want to just call and check raise a safe flop. I don't like letting the BB in for cheap, but utg's range does not seem very wide. I probably 3 bet like you did, to get rid of BB, but I am not sure if it is right.

Flop: you almost never have the best hand here. You might fold utg's JJ if that's what he has, but BB will certainly look you up with any Q or A. I check/fold this.


I play the turn and river (bet/fold) the same way.

About pre-flop...

I would definitely fold 99 here, so TT can't be too far off.
I think I hate calling more than raising. I don't feel comfortable re-raising this, so I should fold.

I think if there is any edge in re-raising TT here, it will be so small that the rake is going to outweight it.

Ok Aaron W has made me think about my call PF a lot. FWIW I think he is right. When this kind of rock raises, at best, I am a ~5% favorite. When he does have a big pair, I am taking the worst of it,(which is most of the time). I think that the SSHE aggressiveness got the better of me and discresion was ignored. My original line on the flop was bet fold, but I think I should have check folded instead. I think that the only streets that I played fine were the turn and the river.

Maybe. You never did mention how many hands you had on him and whether or not he was at all capapble of adjusting to a 4-handed game. If the answers are "lots" and "he's not" then folding PF is fine.
I don't know if he's ever folding KK/JJ to a single flop bet, but I do think the turn will go check/check fairly often when a passive player has those hands.

How many hands is the read? Seen any of his showdowns?

But, from the info you have given fold PF.
