Villian is not terribly memorable, but his stats are 37V$IP/6PFR/2PFA. He was stacked 15 minutes ago with trips when Opp sucked out to a boat with a lower kicker. He show in the turn he is willing to go all the way with this hand, and I couldn't rule out a 9 with 37% V$IP, what do you think? What are the odds he is AK-AJ, KK, QQ vs. Any9? I am really trying to improve my laydowns with TPTK and 2 pair latety since they are one of my biggest leaks. Suggestions here?

In a heads up pot like this, I'm not getting away from TPTK here. I would call him down here on every street.

i think im calling a $15 bet here. Given the stats, villain has AT-AQ more often than a 9.

If you are going to make a firm (albeit weaktight) decision to fold here, just do it on the flop. It isn't like he's raising here with a draw, and it isn't like you are going to improve to the best hand on the turn, when you know he's going to make a bet that you are going to have trouble calling.

Shit, I was afraid that would be the concensus. I just pissed away 12BB. I personally think I ran into a more aggressive AK. Does the 37% V$IP lend itself to a fold? I just started using PTracker and I am trying to improve my quantitative reads. How high would V$IP have to be to consider folding this hand here?

Don't go solely on $VPIP, but based only on the strength of your hand, and as played, I think the river deserves a call.
Renton brought up a good point, however. If you're gonna fold, do so on flop, because your hand will not improve by seeing another card.

Why would he c/r a 9 here? I mean, if he knows you can fold TP on this board why blow you out of the water like this?

He doesn't know me. We have only played 50 hands together. He may have taken my bet as a c-bet, which I do a lot.
I was hoping he would check to me on the turn so we could control the size of the pot. Then I could call a reasonable river bet. His $15 bet suggests that he is ready to get it all in, and I thought I would find a better spot. Too weak tight, eh?

But why check/raise a c-bet with a 9? You are repping an ace - WHICH HE CRUSHES! If you don't have an ace... he crushes you WORSE!
If villian has a 9 - he should lead here, and hope you raise him with a big ace, or call bullshit on him with a pocket pair. He can then call your raise... and check/raise you on the turn, and now you probably can't escape.
So, either he's a moron, or incredibly tricky, or doesn't have a 9. Of these, the third seems most likley (with "moron" a close second).

This isn't necessarily true. You have position, so you can see what he does on the turn. Some ppl will c/r these kinds of flops and just give up if called.
As played, I'd prob push the turn.

Because it's very difficult to get away from TPTK/TPGK if you are hero. If hero has air, he likely isn't putting in another cent if his c-bet is called. In a lot of situations (depending on player), a c/r is not necessarily a sign of strength. This is why I like to c/r sets on very dry boards against thinking players, because they figure that is the one hand you wouldn't have when you c/r.
