    tough spot, looks like a steal, and could be,but since he hasnt played in a while, he may have a real hand. If you 3 bet back at him you are committing a good portion of your stack, so a shove would be more optimal. But if he does have a hand you are flipping or marginal. I think I wait until I have the goods or a better spot to steal on my own
    But I am a tight nit

    Fold > shove > call > 3 bet

    I don't think it's too tight to fold here, you still have over 15 BBs. I think you have to shove if you play this, although if you want to flat and think about a stop-n-go (not recommended, just sayin), that is preferable to 3-betting which as mentioned above commits you to the hand no matter what.

    How is your post-flop play? I would call and outplay him from there based on the action. Keep in mind a continuation bet is no more than a continuation bet. Use your superior poker ability to take his chips.Just don't get caught up on TP.

    Well, I shoved my chips to the middle. To fast I think, What kind of hands would I beat? A9 and KQ ! So I hoped we would fold. He did not, and show AJ and I lost.

    I think it would had been better to wait and put pressure on the lower stacks instead.
