Default TPQK in position hu

Literally first hand at table. Never seen villain before. How's my line, do I raise river? What to? What do I do if he pushes?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ TWP (6 max, 5 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

MP ($509.52)
Button ($653.70)
SB ($495.79)
TWP ($400)
UTG ($562.20)

Preflop: TWP is BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $2.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP calls $4, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, SB (poster) completes, <font color="#CC3333">TWP raises to $21</font>, MP folds, SB calls $21.

Flop: ($54) 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">TWP bets $25</font>, SB calls $25.

Turn: ($104) 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
SB checks, TWP checks.

River: ($104) 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets $40</font>, TWP...

I just call although I think you are good here a very high percentage of the time.

I just don't know if worse aces call here.

Bet more on the flop, say $35-40. 1/2 pot is begging to be raised, which puts you in a difficult position. Plus you probably have the best hand and and weaker ace will still call.

I like the turn check. Just call the river since villain is unknown.

I don't really mind getting raised if I bet half pot. It's hard to beat top pair heads up.

I just call . I don't think there is enough value in raising here.

160 might be too much. I think $120 is about as much as he calls with one pair. No way will he reraise anything but a set anyway, he's not bluff 3-betting here, so it's purely for value and I think any A will look up $120.

I think I like the 120 raise here, not sure what I was thinking just calling. I didn't spend enough time looking at the hand, and I didn't even see preflop action. I apologize for my previous weak/tight advice [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
