New to the table so no reads on oppo.
After his pot size cbet I feel my only options are shove or fold.....is this correct or can I just call?? How about pre, should I be 3 betting or is flatting in position fine??
How should I have played this hand? As you can see I did shove but not sure if it was the correct thing to do.

Don't know the result but judging by what Liam said, I'm guessing it aint good lol.
Cheers was pretty confident I played it ok, just needed confirmation
IMO i think your call gave you no answers before the flop,I would of re raised then if he shoves pre its an instant fold as you would still have about 18 bb rather than as it panned out none!
Once you just call pre and on that flop i think its hard to get away from doing your stck tbh but like i said be more aggro pre flop.
I think flatting pre is fine/the best option. I don't wanna 3bet and get it in this deep with only AJs and I don't want to 3bet/fold. We can just call in position with a strong hand and keep his range wider.
So basically if we have a <30bb stack our 3 bet range should be narrowed to hands that we would be happy to get it in with? Or are there other factors to take into account?
I agree with Lambert in not liking 3-bet-folding out of this stack, in position with a hand as valuable as AJ. If you're going to be 3-bet-folding, then do it with some junk that has no value in situations where you think the 3-bet gets through a lot - So against someone who's opening wide and only continues with strong hands.
AJ is a pretty decent hand and, in position, we're going to have a lot of advantages post-flop. I like calling.
Obviously post-flop you need some tremendous read that this guy only bets full-pot with hands that beat your AJ to be able to fold. It's possible but readless I wouldn't be folding. I might call this flop bet, though. I don't want him folding his AK when I shove, so I'd let him decide whether to barrel the turn.
Can we 3bet/fold with this stack? Yes. Should we be 3bet/folding with this holding? I don't think so. It's in the lovely middle ground of strength. In a £2.30 BHer I've seen big stacks 4bet jam QT. Heck I've seen a big stack bounty man call off a 20bb rejam with QTo in the £55 BHer (that was last night, I'm not bitter). That being said without reads do I want it all in pre? Not really, again back to the strength of our hand, too strong to fold pre and too weak to get it in against an unknown range.
I think flatting is fine here. My 3bet range to get it in would be AQs+ TT+ I think, that range might need some tweaking though so don't take it as gospel. I would 3bet/fold some broadways, some suited connectors maybe some pairs and assorted other junk if I think he's opening to fold a decent amount of the time or can be outplayed on the flop and turn. We're probably going to get flatted a lot by the big stack and without reads I would probably keep my 3bet/folding to a minimum until I get a bead on the guy.
you played it fine, calling on flop is never bad either
