Hello everyone,

Villain is a tight fish.

if he hit a set of fives or kings OTF he would probably play more aggressively, even though the players on NL2 like to slowplay sets.
But he would probably 3bet kings preflop.
Quite possibly hit a flush OTT, otherwise I think he would call my cbet again.

Was this fold correct?

PokerStars - $0.02 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BB: 113.5 BB
UTG: 97.5 BB
Hero (MP): 109.5 BB
CO: 52.5 BB
BTN: 194.5 BB
SB: 128.5 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has A♠ J♦

fold, Hero raises to 3 BB, fold, fold, fold, BB calls 2 BB

Flop: (6.5 BB, 2 players) 5♥ A♦ K♥
BB checks, Hero bets 4.5 BB, BB calls 4.5 BB

Turn: (15.5 BB, 2 players) A♥
BB checks, Hero bets 10 BB, BB raises to 106 BB and is all-in, fold

BB wins 34.5 BB

Tight but correct fold vs the tight fish, imo.

Seems alright. If you think villain is tight you could also check back the turn.
I expect you get only value of a weaker ace and with 2 on the board this will be less likely.

sucks but villain x/shoving the turn represents a lot of strength. I know that this may not be the optimal line but from time to time I check the turn (mostly vs very aggressive players to give them a chance to bluff the river).

Tight fish might get scared and shove 55 or QhJh/ThJh because Ace on turn makes it a bit vulnerable against your range.
