To answer your question...no...you should not fold anything but AA KK AK...JJ is an easy shove you played it correctly

You are playing $30 BI's and ask these kind of questions?

But NH and WP I would have played the hand the same.

Folding would be bad, getting it in is standard.

Lol I hear ya but at the same time if it's not your profession why ply higher stakes? It's not my profession either and with work and fam I dont have much time, therefore I play low stakes.

No sarcasm from me just try to help you, I think most players at these BI's know exactly what shoving/calling ranges are, so not knowing for sure what to do in these spots is a pretty huge leak in these levels.

So my advice is try to fix this at lower stakes , make a good sample and if you are profitable, move up. Not the other way around. (probably some angry $30 BI regs on Stars now )

Yea you would think but Villain called here with AJs. Now I do understand its close to being a decent call pot odds wise but for nearly his whole stack?

I don't said I liked villains play, think it's a bit 2 loose and don't get his 3x preflop as well , maybe you can even openfold preflop in this spot with AJo (not saying I would do that) but I would never 3x it.


And you played the hand just ok and got it in as an huge favourite. Nothing more you can do and you want other players to make this kind of errors.
