I'd open shove preflop and not think too much about it. as played, looks like a fold.

i definitely DISAGREE. the open shove part is ok. but now that you have put money in and there is an overlay from the caller you MUST gamble here. 77-1010 is definitely part of the range.

what's the buyin? i only ask b/c it's probably helpful in guaging the villian's range

[levAA]

shove preflop, as played you don't have any FE by shoving, but your odds are too good to fold imo. I'd have a look at the flop and get it in with a flush-draw or on any ace.

here's the complete hand. obviously it was a fluke that he actually had aces here. the reason i didn't open push is because my M was still 8.73 pre-flop and i thought that i could just raise and get away from the hand if i didnt hit the flop and still have an M of 7. i don't like playing AJ OOP. I usually don't start open pushing till i get below 6-5.

Not for nothing, dude...but that's exactly when you want
to shove these hands! Please never open raise at ~8M
with the plan to fold.
