    your line is horrible

    if villain is a fish then raising might be ok but probz not in a multiway pot, but if you do raise you have to really get it in because he'd get it with much less - readless and/or if villain is solid enough calling is the best line

    if you do raise, I hate calling to fold to a turn shove - either fold to the flop raise or call the turn shove
    but ideally just call

    But i dont want to be shoving in with aj its not massively big tbh in a all in pre, im likely to be behide if i shove all in i think.  Thats the thing the villian wasnt loose he was fairly tight... i fully agree with calling flop and folding turn that was a real mistake.  Do you think i was beaten ?

    Calling the flop and folding the turn is fairly poor, as it leads me to ask what were you calling the reraise with a mind to? If calling hoping to improve its not good, and the board is ultra dry so unless he is mega loose its not likely he has any draw on this board. Given his preflop action an overpair seems unlikely, but a set is certainly possible, and given his raise on flop there is little doubt he will continue on turn with either big bet or as in this case a shove. Can't see him taking this line with KJ or JQ etc unless you've seen him play that wild so far. SO readless I have to think I'm dead here more often than not.

    Either way you should be deciding on flop if you are going to play for stacks or fold, as thats what his reraise is saying, and so a call and a fold on the turn is just a waste of money to be honest.

    Just fold the flop if your not going to get it in on the turn. Seen POOOP make some moves but doubt he is doing this than any less than an overpair or set.

    if u think aj is not massive hand y raise the flop then u are not bluffing u have a good hand as played im calling the all in but i would of caled the flop and then decide on the turn the turn looks a brick so i would call down

    Its a good hand but not one i consider an all in with pre. I realise i made a mistake on the flop i should either fold or be prepraed to go all the way barring nothing scarey comes out on turn.... thanks everyone for the advice very helpful

    If you call flop don't fold blank turn

    ive not read the response above so sorry if i repeat any1 but calling pre on the button is so horrible you putting yourself in trouble right there.
    then the call of £6 is worse tbh i think your behind full hand
    easy fold tho maybe you folded it 2 bets too late

    I prefer to just flat flop as it keep in bluffs and you're IP too so can assess, if you are going to raise for value you should make it more, min raise lets him see turn very cheap.

    When the other guy makes a massive 3bet I probz fold here as he's repping a very big hand and on that board which is very dry he doesn't have many semi-bluff draws.

    If you call that raise though then you have to call the turn all in as it's pretty much a blank apart from agressive played 42 lol
