TPTK checkup

I think it's an obvious fold, but just want to make sure.

50 nl, 6-max. both me and villain have ~220BB's. He is a little tilty at the moment as I just finished taking a large pot off of him. I chased a gutshot on the flop and hit on the turn when it was obvious he had a hand he liked. That seemed to set him off.

He tends to bet small (min bets usually) with small-med pairs (either pockets or paired on the board) or with weakish draws. Will bet pot w/ TPGK or better, usually all the way to the river. He doesnt seem to let go of TP.

I raise pf (to 1.75) from button w/ ATo, SB folds, BB (villain) reraises the min. I haven't seen him do this yet, but I figure he's still steaming so he may be doing this with a wider range.

flop comes T high, rainbow. villain bets pot, I call.

turn is a random low card, villain bets pot again, I fold.

I guess I am asking if it's too risky to continue with this hand this deep. Is this a pretty standard fold?

With that read its pretty standard.

i am wondering why you only call the flop, and dump to a 2nd barrell, as if its a sign of strength... how do you know for sure?

you decided to play ATo in the first place, what the hell kind of flop were you looking for? i'm not saying go for stacks here, but a little aggression might narrow his range off of, "well, it could also be air."

you are way ahead of AK/AQ/AJ here, and most pp's that missed. and, if the A falls later, you got his stack. the only things to worry about are JJ+, maybe a set, but it looks like a good flop to raise him to me. if he plays back, or leads the turn again, then you can dump.

i think you missed an opportunity to end it right here. if i am way off, please explain to me why. AT/AJ, when i decide to raise pf, is a great situation for me, most times, when i hit the lesser of my cards.

yeah standard

I only called on the flop because if he is tilting and betting with nothing, then I don't win anything extra by raising. If he has something, then I lose more.

I folded the turn because I see a large river bet looming and don't think I can call it with just a pair of T's in a reraised pot. besides, if he is tilting I should have some better opportunities in the near future against him where I actually think I am ahead more often than not.

Truthfully I think I call too many flops only to fold to the second barrel on the turn, but that is a separate issue.
