BTN: $41.80 (167.2 bb)

BB: $12.04 (48.2 bb)
UTG: $44.37 (177.5 bb)

Hero (CO): $26.96 (107.8 bb)

Preflop: Hero is CO with A A
UTG folds, MP raises to $0.75, Hero raises to $2.20, 3 folds, MP calls $1.45

Flop: ($4.75) 2 5 J (2 players)
MP checks, Hero bets $2.80, MP calls $2.80

Turn: ($10.35) T (2 players)
MP checks, Hero bets $6.20, MP raises to $23, Hero folds

I bet again on the turn for value, planning on shoving the river, but villain decides to jam. The truth is I'm not sure how to play these situations anymore, I've called in these spots now few times in a short period of time and I think I've lost every time vs. top set or something. People in NL25 are just check/call check/shoving their sets even IP on a super dry board, and to exploit this fact I've started to fold in these spots which I think is accurate. Old me would propably just make a levelling call thinking that villain would just call JJ/TT here and he could jam flushdraws and some backdoor clubflouts blahblahblah but that is not happening that often. I think villain has TT quite often, JJ is possible too. Some villains are calling JTs/55/22, so I'm not discounting these hands.

Hi,

Don´t think you should give him very tight range. A lot of players would not call pre 22/55. He may ofcourse have JJ/TT/JTs, but he may also hold just Jx or picked up some combo draw with KdQd. If you´re often barreling turn as semibluff you can´t b/f aces, since
you´ve put in 38% of your stack; there are two flushdraws; and opponent seems aggressive.
Against nits you may consider b/f, but even then you need to be sure he is not going to c/rai there kings or queens.
You likely have a lot marginal hands in your pre-flop range which to b/f and if Tc seems very bad card in his range you can always check back turn to induce floats to bet on the river

best regards,
