Hello,

I am new in the forums but I am really looking to improve my game. I hope I will find my "mentor" around here who will help me climb the limits :)

 So this is 11$ in Stars, I have a tight image and the villain is a reg who plays normal too. Haven't seen him doing some tricky moves.

 We are deep and I open A9 he calles from sb and the flop comes pretty good. I make my cbet he calls and the turn comes blank so If he called the flop he should call the turn as well. Instead of that he raises me, I can say that if he had AK/AQ he would 3b me preflop with the game I have seen from him but he would call with AQ too, so I'm behind some of the time but I still can't fold.

Now here's my question: I am not sure if on this BI level it's possible villain to tell himself something like "Well he can do this with 10s Js 9s so I can raise with my A5/A6/A7/A8/A9 because I am sure he will call me and I don't want him to check behind on the river and loose value. " ? Or can he raise here with 8s or 9s and turn his hand to a bluff? I know I show a lot of strenght with double barrel but still I have seen a lot of things and that's why I want to ask is it possible for a reg on this level to do this ?

 That's what I thought during the hand and when he checked to me I knew that he is check/ calling maybe 80-90% of the time and if that's true he could call with any of the weaker aces and maybe even with some of the pairs if he is getting good odds to call so if I am winning vs A/5/7/8 and some pairs and loosing vs A/10/J/Q. I think it's better to bet.

 P.S. as I was writing this I think he would never raise with a pair in this situation So it's a check behind.
