Lose regularly with this hand when hit ace or Jack would fold on flop good luck.

If I judge from that what I read, the hero might have call on the river?:hmmmm2:
(Personally for me, JAo is a mess!)

I would not call the river. Judging by the Villians bet sizing on the flop I am guessing he held A9 (top pair top kicker). As the board plays out he figures his 9 is good and is trying to extract all the chips he feels he can get from Hero. Just my thoughts.

That's a fold for me. I hate AJ. especially when it's OS

I wouldn't even call the turn and maybe flop. bluff catching with A-high OOP is not my style. You call every street 1/2 pot bet, is that a good play? Personally for me, not a good idea to do that. You can lose even if he's bluffing there (AQ, AK), your a-high is not the best a-high. I would call 2 or 3 streets there only against a maniac if I have notes on him. You give away about 40% of your stack trying to catch a bluff from a LAG with AJ OOP. But having 32bb (at the beginning of the hand) you could play further in this MTT almost comfortable. I don't know how far it was to ITM, but with 32bb you could save some chips for a better opportunity. That's just IMHO. I don't like to move my chips to the pot in that spots where I don't know at all if I'm ahead. There's no info for you, he can have a pair, he can have totally nothing, but you from your side don't have a clue about his hand.

I rarely do! But I have to have a very strong hand if I do!

I think it's stupid just to call the flop, why not give the bank right away what to check, what for empty to ***** all roads, but if you already went then you need to finish

I wouldn't call the river. I think with him being in the bb that he hit on the flop and with no high cards raising preflop he is probably placing your hand on either 2 high cards which you have or you were dealt a pair. I probably could of gotten away if you check raised him off the flop, but going all the way to the river just check calling they have you beat.

I'd be more apt to think the villain had you all along. Either with an overpair to the board, or tried triple barreling you with a better non paired hand like AQ or AK.

I would have folded on the flop.

Not sure why we have a real decision here. Fold flop, or float and check fold blank turns. Doubt villain is ever triple barreling worse than AJ here

I would have raised pre-flop.

As played I think you can call or jam. If you call you only need to be right 24% (98645/(223916+98645+98645) = .234)of the time but by jamming you could get one pair hands to fold. Another thing to think about is the villain the kind of player that can fire all three barrels as a bluff?

I would have folded after flop. I had nothing.

i would fold at flop.

You have read this Villain very well if you so easily called him all the time.
Mark him!)

A pretty good call has been made in this situation!

Definitely fold after flop.

All the tough decision was on you. I would of fold after flop or turn. But if he has nothing most of the time then riase somewhere. To me it like you only put him on weak flush draw.Which was the best situation to call three street with ace high. Anything else you lose. Or he's a complete donk

I have no idea how you call him down with AJo in that spot after he barrels on all 3 streets. If he is a very LAG kind of player than that board will hit his range much more than your own. That being said kudos to you for thinking you had a read on your opponent and going for it - and then finding out you were correct!

If the player is def labeled as LAG - then IF i do call the flop bet i most likely fold the turn. The logic is yes you could possibly have the better hand but if he keeps playing like that you will eventually take him for a large ammount later anyway when you do flop strong

So answer this threads question - no i do not call the river. I probably fold the flop but if i get stubborn i for sure fold the turn.

I would fold on the flop

Turn fold, not great idea to call turn 6 without position. 5 or 4 check-raise.
