If he really is tilting and opening any Ace it's fine. Otherwise fold pre.

Oh wait my norm is to flat here pre is that wrong?

Depends on the opponent imo. AJ is a hand that it's hard to get a lot of value from postflop unless your opponent opening all Ax hands and he's willing to throw a bunch of money in with TP hands. Otherwise you're paying off better Aces or overpairs when you hit your Jack.

Ok I see as played would you check back the river?

Not folding A/Jo pre IP, however 3 betting it would probably be better, especially since opponent is tilting. If you're folding A/Jo pre then you should be folding K/J and J/Q pre all the time which just seems nitty to me. I would value bet river bigger, $1.5.

Not with your read that he's tilting. May even go a bit bigger.

If you think he's tilted, shouldn't we min-raise the flop, or do some other gay tilting shit?

I fold pre, just about though.
I checkback the river his turn bet sizing does not look like a weak ace and the diamonds may have scared AQ in to checking.

No matter what villain shows up here with it's worth a note, he's a value pussy who can't hand read well if he has AQ or lol AK. If he has air it's worth a note as this is a very unlikely barreling spot.

I'm going to get berated for nittiness or hindsightedness (as river action was included) but I kinda want to fold the turn as we block most diamond draws, villains sizing is next to never weaker value and this is an unlikely air barrel. Given he's tilted though I hazard a call as air becomes a little more likely and I feel dirty folding.
