This is a fold pre flop, UTG is playing a pretty solid range so we can assume his UTG open range is tight solid too. MP has a 3 bet % of 3% so this is rarely light. You are now in a sandwich spot between UTG & MP, when both ranges have you in bad shape. Your going to struggle to fold an A or a J here in a 3 bet pot, otherwise why are you calling, and your gonna be crushed a lot of the time when you do. Thats if UTG doesnt 4 bet, at which point you can never call off. Fold pre, find a better spot.

Yep, fold pre. Don't call nit 3-bets with AJ.

I think you are too loose pre and flop.

On flop, he might have overs than us.

Bad game on preflop, you should fold, if you very want to play with AJs you should re-raise all-in. On flop, you should fold or all-in. On turn you should bet. And on river fold or all-in.

What do you guys think about the check of MP on the turn? Isn't that a "i'm afraid of possible straights and flushes" check? Would betting there made MP fold?

I have simply tightened up my 3bet calling range.. thanks guys

though I don't mind calling AJs but if I'm going to i'll need to drop TOP pair J like it's hot in the future.

If diamonds come out on flop like Kd 2d Th ... I like jamming flop.

Yeah man, judging from the last few threads of yours I read you really need to start folding to 3 bets pre. You have a huge leak here but you said you have tightened that up so good luck at the tables

I think it's close preflop, but edging towards a fold more often, given that it's multiway and you have position, the only thing you are lacking is initiative, and I guess you have fair odds if you think that UTG won't 4bet.

As played you have to call the flop with tptk, definitely no reason to raise, that will fold out everything you beat and put you in a tough spot if reraised.

As for the turn I think there are 2 ways to go about it. You can take the line you did and try to induce a bluff from something like AK or AQ on the river (I don't see villain cbetting those 2 hands on that board though). OR given the super wet board which is miles off our opponents range I would turn our hand into a bluff and stab the turn, hopefully taking it down there.
