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.

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)?

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?
I also don't agree with the flop check. If your range has villain 1 with an 8 then He is welcoming a bet to be able to check raise. He might flat but then make a sizable check raise on the turn. You are deep and need to build a pot with a big hand.
Flatting the turn raise only leaves an oppertunity to get $105 in on the turn (if V2 doesnt fold). Luckily V2 reopens and allows for more moment to get in the pot. Rasing (instead kf calling) to like $110 allows for a pretty sizable river bet.
But all this could have been accomplished with a 1/3-2/3 pot size bet in the flop to start to set up a river shove.
