AJ HU v Uber passive nit
HU Shuffle sat, 20 entries, 10 left, 1st gets entry into the £2k GTD Shuffle, 2nd gets nowt. I have some history with the villain but not much and only HU.
Villain limps the button a lot, occasionally raised but very rarely, generally limped button and was often limp/folding although started limp/calling more as I kept raising a wide range to take advantage of passiveness, not sure if villain was actually adapting or whether they were just bored of limp/folding. Villain was playing fit/fold on the flop.
Would definitely describe this villain as tight passive, generally raises big hands from button (I happily folded a rag ace OOP to a standard button raise against this villain earlier).
2nd time in this tournament playing this player, was running them over with aggression first time but stacks stayed quite level, only for them to get moved off my table and get a couple of double ups, so this villain was moved back to my table with a 2:1 chip lead (sigh).
Anyway, villain limp/3bets the button really big. Right to get stacks in with AJ?

AJ heads-up is too strong to be folding with 40BB. When you raise, you should really want him to 3-bet so you can make the shove. The amount of his raise is a little too big to leave him room to fold but you should be confident enough in your hand to want to get it all-in with.
You'll see plenty of underpairs, weaker Aces and even KQ, KJ type hands here, especially if you've been as aggresive as you say. I would have done the same.
If he's T/P and you feel you have a decent edge then I'd fold pretty easily. There will be many more places where you can pick up his chips. Exploit his weak post flop play rather than committing lots of chips preflop where most T/P players are usually pretty solid.
