SH AJo, SB vs BB, Squeezed Pot

Looks fine to me.

I like it as played.

check call?

He certainly has something strong but I wouldn't fold

You like to pay off better hands?

I like the squeeze pre-flop, though I would make it 1bb more because we are OOP.

Since the squeeze gets called, I don't expect a lot of calls from worse on this board and there's not that much need for protection because of the J The BB also overcalls preflop, which can be AK/AQ a lot. Do you really want to bet vs. these hands?

I'd just check/call once and give up unimproved.

"BB plays 15/9 in 49 hands. "

15/9 isn't that lose :/

I think it is close but i would call. Villain just flatted your squeeze without being invested in the pot. Since he seems quite tight, i think he has someting like 99-QQ and AK, maybe KK,AA. We need $5.32/($5.50+2*$8.02)=24% The thing is we are doing fine against:
99,AK,QQc,KcQc (38%)
99,AKc,QQc,KcQc (34%)
Even AKc,99 (22%) is not far away from a call.
So if he ever shows up with 99 or AK without Kc we have an easy call.

Because we have to pay of our stack as an underdog vs BBs range I would prefer a check otf with the intention of paying up to a 50% pot bet and folding otherwise. I also think we should check all hands on this flop. BB probably has a range advantage since he is probably very AK heavy.
