Villain is tight/taggish based on early stat reads (20/12 after 50ish) - PF close or clear fold given that I've been pretty active at table and had just stacked somebody after flopping str8 with 75s vs. SB min 3bet...

First, I dont like AJ is 3th bet pot, even is you have position.

Also, he can 3-bet you with a wider range, knowing you raise BTN with a large range too, so calling is ok.

I would prefer to bet the turn because of the flush draw... no flush draw I would check it back like you did, but you dont want to let draw for cheap. By betting the turn, you can make a easy fold if you get raised with a big amonth.

good value bet on river, you can get value from hand like 77 trought TT

I think calling IP is fine sometimes, almost nobody respects BU raises anymore, and 3betting light is pretty common.. even for nits. It's a pretty standard play once you call preflop.
IMO check on turn is fine for pot control etc, if he has a FD (not very often in his range, esp. if he chks turn) he has 9 outs usually, and you get value from better hands on the river.

Pretty standard hand...

preflop is good/standard. you have to call sometimes to deter them from pounding on your raises. you just have to continue sometimes when you don't flop anything. these stacks are perfect for putting in a small flop raise that leverages a large amount. the most important thing on the flop is whether or not we're committed. with 130 bb, I'd say we're not committed. so calling the flop and checking the turn are good by me. if we had a read on him then we could either bet/fold or bet/call the turn, but vs. an unknown in a pretty good spot for him to bluff to rep AA/KK, checking is good. with 100 bb's, i'd say bet and get the money in. it's pretty marginal with those stacks, so i'd def check and play pot control with 130 bb stacks. i'd bet a little more on the river like 35, but nice hand overall
