    I marked the UTG raiser as Tight Agressive... I thougt my raise would make him fold so I would get fold equity...

    I think I should have bet btw $1,100 and $1,300 to make him think I wanted a call and representing AA-QQ, and if he called, well, I would have been pot commited anyway... He called instantly instead...

    What do you guys think? Thanks!

    You think he's tight? So say 99+ AK,AQs tight? As I see it either it's a coin flip or your way behind. He just opened UTG I don't think he folds. I don't got a read but if he folds here it won't look good for his raises UTG. Any way its 43%/57% against that hand range of 99+ AK,AQs. Is it that bad to flat call here? I mean 2/3 the time you miss the flop. But most of the time thers an A,K, or Q with no J I think like 55% of the time. Well probably less than that because you got AKo. Here I definately think I raise. You really have to right? It is AKo. Maybe you could of tried a raise of 2.5 to 2.75, 750 to 825. Yes smaller raise makes it look like you want a call. It all depends on the opponant though. Here a smaller raise makes sense as you can safely fold to a reraise. If you think he only reraises AA-QQ and AK. But if there's no way you fold here I would say raise all in.
