Raise more pre-flop.


Since you only have 50BB's I probably raise the flop and get it in. This is alright too I think.

If I were deeper I probably just call the flop and the turn since he priced himself out to draw. I'd fold on the 4th heart river though obviously.


Reads and stats on villian can affect how this hand is played.



Edit: And don't show results.

he can lead at this flop w/ baby flush or bet pot protecting a set or two pair...shoving here is bad imo

Re: AJ vs BB on scary board
 

3BB is not standard what is standard is 4BB +1 BB/ limper

I use a 4BB standard. You can probably use 3 though I like more. However, there is a limper in front of you. You definitely need to increase your raise amount when there's a limpe rin front of you. My standard raise is 4BB's + 1 per limper.


And he can but he can bet a bunch of other hands as well and he isn't gonna fold even a naked A of hearts.

Like I said just calling and getting it on a turn that doesn't complete any draws is a good play.
