Default A weird AJ hand

SB here is 30/24/28 after 300 hands, CO is 24/20/2.2 after 150.

Is preflop standard, or bad because the PRF was prety TAGgy? What hands do you think SB could cap the flop and then check the turn with? Should I bet here? I was afraid of a check raise. Is the river bet ok? I assume you are paying off a check raise if it happens, but will almost always lose.

Preflop is pretty standard, especially if he has you pegged as a TAG. In that case, his range is going to include a bunch of aces, pairs, some K's, and maybe even a couple Q's.

I bet the turn. If he pulls a cap/c/r move on me, I definitely make a note, but this seems really rare. I can't imagine what he was afraid of, or what he had, but I bet if checked to and then curse if raised. I probably call down a raise because the action is so weird and I'm bad and I'm confused and there's a decent pot.

Preflop is super standard, I think you played it fine by checking behind on the turn. The lead/cap is a very strong statement on a board with only one real draw. I like just getting to a showdown if possible.

A much-too hopeful 99? K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]? I'm really reaching here. K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]? A7s?

you played this fine. don't bet the turn. It looks like a c/r attempt and I'd hate to put in 3 more bets. I'd probably fold to the c/r. Plus by checking the turn, you invite him to fire on the river regardless of holding.
