As played I would call the river and expect to be good about 70% of the time.
But like the others said, bet slightly more on flop and put most/all of your stack in on the turn.

Raise more PF or fold. You have no room to get cute.

[/ QUOTE ] 250 is standard here. You aren't gonna call a sb shove whether you make it 250 or 300, so why make it 300? You have enough in the pot preflop to get it in by the turn if you near pot it on flop.

I would raise to 400 before flop and then bet 3/4 pot on the flop and turn. I think it's unlikely he has two hearts and if he had A K he probably would have reraised you preflop.

I don't think you have to bet that much before the flop, you make it a lot harder to fold if one of the blinds wakes up with a hand and AJ is not usually in good shape then

I agree that 300 was light on the flop, at least 400, pot committing yourself, as other people have said, is a good idea, because it makes you river decision easier...to be honest I'm not sure there should be a river anyway, as others have said, shove that turn

i think its played ok against that sort of villain expept that you should bet a bit bigger on flop and turn and dont fold the river, he has worse two pair here a lot, might even be chasing some kind of draw and is now trying to make a bluff, i really think you re good here almost always.
