Call or Fold to tight passive
I was playing a $2/$5 game at casino in Detroit. The table had been pretty loose and pretty passive. I was open raising about 15% of hands, and i'd been playing very aggressively. I have AQs in middle position and open to $20. An older gentleman probably in his 80's had been playing about 3+ hours with me at this table. He is extremely tight and extremely passive. He limps and calls but never raised pre-flop. Action is to him and he raises (for the first time) to $60 with about $450 back and I have him covered. I could narrow his range to AA or KK (even after the hand he mentions how he wouldn't re-raise with JJ). Action folds to a tighter Asian gentleman who calls two bets cold. He does this with most pairs and like AQs+. Action is back to me, do you make the call?

Is he on the BTN? If he has position and he's ridiculously tight, it's an easy fold. Even without position, frankly.
Even if he's bored and wants to play, it's going to be a very marginal spot and AQ does not play well in 3-bet pots multiway against tight players.
He was in the HJ so he had position on me. We are getting almost 4:1 you dont call looking to flop a nutted hand (trips, straights or flush)?
You have a tight player 3betting you and then another tight calling cold, So you are facing 1010+ a big % of the time in this spot and maybe the occasional AK.
Easy fold IMO.
I guess the question was whether we have enough implieds to call? We're flopping a straight/flush only slightly over 1% of the time, and we might have RIO on our 2-p/trip-hands. So yeah, calling would be very marginal as stated above.
This is an easy fold in a 2-5 game.
Thanks everyone. With pot odds and implied odds I thought this could be a call. I did fold in case you were wondering. Tight old man ends up with KK and cold caller mucks.
