My thoughts on this are that it's either a fold or shove. So yeah, what are people's thoughts on what I should be doing in this situation?

I cant imagine if you will fold here.

Our hand is good for a shove.

Opponent is a decent TAG from the stats. I do not think he will call with worse than a set because the board is too coordinated. The board already completed a draw that he could be c-beting. The mistake IMO is not 3-betting pre. It is easier to play this hand as the aggressor. We only beat QJ,AK,AT. We are crushed by T9, KT, JJ,88,QQ, AQ.

NVM. Is the range I put here too narrow?

Thanks for the insights guys, I'd say the opening range you've used is too narrow as his overall is 25/18 but from the button it's probably wider.

I only choose the hands that he will probably bet 2 streets IP with.

True, you could've possibly included T9o and T9s then if he had hit the straight on the flop?

No way can you fold here. You could probably shove here and expect to be called with weak Ax enough.

If you think he is capable of folding hands like KQ and low Ax then just call and extract value on the river. If he still folds those hands on the river then just shove, because you don't want him to catch his draws. If he will call those on the river then letting him draw sometimes will be worth it to bust those smaller hands.

Even if the river completed a draw he'd probably check back with Ax hands and he won't bluff all the time so your in good shape.

A small raise could be good too. It kind of depends on your player.

However folding here is a big mistake and shoving is probably standard.

Yeah, I did shove in the end as I put him on a draw heavy hand, turned out he had T9 so hit a straight on the flop.

As others mentioned, not making a 3bet pre flop was a mistake in this case as AJ is a a good enough to do that against a button raise. Don't mind the shove.:p

It should work now. Also added weighted hand ranges too, so you can right click and weight any hand. http://acepokersolutions.com/APD_equity_calculator.html

I think in a btn blind spot there might be a few more Ax in there including A8. He's going to bet pretty wide on the flop, even though he shouldn't. It's 2nl.

Adding percentage ranges would be quite nice as it'd save time inputting it manually.
