Little aggressive preflop, played it a lil bit like heads up, thought maybe SB was trying to take the lead in the hand.

This will be my last hand unless something peculiar comes up. Looks like I'm on the same page as u guys for the most part.

I"m certainly not 3 betting AJs preflop unless SB is very laggy and I want to isolate. Much rather just flat call.

If I did, and we were capped, I'm not raising here on the flop

We are only ahead of AK, reasonably.
I call down. See SD as cheaply as possible now.
We have protection against AK with our Ace.

Let SB keep betting AK, the board is drawless, the limpers hand should not be a concern now.

I'm limit rusty, trying to stay sharp..could be way off here

I'm just calling preflop, I mean this was a good flop for you and you still have to be hesitant.

On the flop I like the raise, he could be betting with anything or nothing, but when he re-raises you have to give him credit for something. He's not trying to take the lead away because he's oop, that wouldn't make any sense for him. He could be an incredibly bad player, but you can't bank on that. Much more likely he has queens or even the same AJ as you.

I really want to consider folding on the turn, but I'm not sure I can because of the chance he has aj or kj. Alot of people would raise preflop in the SB with those two hands, and it certainly fits his flop and turn play. I have no problem with either calling down, like you did, or else folding on the turn.

I don't understand the LP player at all. He's a complete mystery to me. What does he have, I have no idea. Pocket sevens, eights or nines maybe? I can't see him beating you here, but I've been wrong before.

just too add:
Had I not raised preflop, I'm raising the flop.

but not now.

LP had JT, SB had AA.

Played it like heads up smile.gif.

No biggy though, I learned.
