I like preflop, but make it a little more. 8-9 should do.

Flop: standard.

Turn: i push. I think he calls with worse jacks, 9x [D].

this is a situation I've never been able to figure out. I'll be curious to see the responses

I think hes got 99 or air. He doesnt seem to have QQ+ with the line he took. I think theres more of a chance that he has air. I call here.

Any previous history?

I am a bit nitty, but I don't normally 3bet a UTG raiser and a MP caller with AJo. I know UTG is ultra loose, but have you noticed him being this loose UTG? What was your read on MP?

The turn comes down to reads. Have you noticed him do anyting out of line? I was playing with a 40/25 the other day who made incredibly annoying raises all the time. But he never got mixed up in big pots when he didn't have the goods. Is UTG a donkey?

I hate preflop. 3betting AJ against UTG raiser is a leak and shouldn't be done. It makes for very complicated decisions post flop.

I think I can fold it because it was multiway. I think its ok to 3bet AJ against this kind of opponent. If he is crazy enough, you can stack off with pleasure, its read dependent.

He can only have a slowplayed overpair here. What was your image/stats at the table. I can`t see him with any combo draw or 99 on the turn here, cause he would have let this go on the flop. I think I fold here. You are representing more then AJ here and he doesn`t cares. Unless villain has suicidal tendencies, this is a fold.

He has AA IMO.

35 puts you all-in which makes this a tough decision here.
As played it looks like he's on a flush draw and he knows he has fold equity. I don't think QJ or KJ make this play. J9 is unlikely.

99, flush draw, or overpair. Don't 3-bet this again preflop. Get it all in here and learn your lesson for next time.

This guy is on the nutty side, so I call. You'll see worse jacks, weirdly played flush draws and even air sometimes here.
