Default Re: 20nl - aj shoved into on river

Well, I'd limp preflop behind the open limper to play for a very small pot only if I hit top pair or better. I'd fold if anybody raises behind me, or from the blinds. In EP I'd fold AJo. On the button or CO, with one limper, I'd raise, but not in MP. From MP, as in the OP, I'd either fold or limp.

I'm sure all kinds of people will hate that idea, but I win lots of medium sized pots with TPTK and TPWK this way at live games. And I never ever get stacked with AJ, like the OP probably did, when I only have TPTK or TPWK.

AJo isn't really a raising hand at FR because it can't stand any pressure post flop.

Without a read, I'd probably fold the river. Has he bluffed in spots like this with large river bets before?

His flop min-bet/call looks like a draw of some kind, but it's hard to see what draw got there with either the 6d or 7d on the turn and river.

I just don't think TPWK is good enough to call the oversized river bet unless you have a good reason to suspect a bluff from this player.
