It was a 10 handed table, I'm sittin with ace jack, blinds are 400-800 theres a min raise to 1600, I call, 2 callers behind.

Flop comes down 10 j ace, check, all in, original raiser folds, then its onto me with 2 pair, ace jack.

I have 30K, if i call and lose i'm sittin with just over 10K.

Do you think it's an automatic fold? and theres no flush draw out.

    It would be nice for you to post the hand so we can see positions, stacks etc but sounds like a snap call to me.

    Why would someone open jam risking everyone folding if they flopped the nut straight or a set. Probably scared of the flop and wants to take it down now

    Unless you have notes on the villan saying they shove with the nuts then call.  By the way its played you are going to see AK, AQ a lot of the time IMHO

    TENTEN-

    hes got trips OR ak/a10/aj not a straight you'll just check it since there so many people in the pot that got raised pre you would defo trap with straight, im leaning more towards a 2pair i would say like a10 or aj since there is so much in the pot he doesn't want to see a turn card of like K OR Q which would kill his chances of winning

    I never liked the spot, i wasn't feeling great about a call, or all in, but cause it left me 10 k behind i went for the all in to isolate.

    He turns over kq for the nuts!

    Well he has a potential threat from every set, every 2pr, and the threat of letting him split the pot with him but yeah still a very wierd line.

    Dont be results orientated anything but snap calling here would be a mistake.
