What did I tell you about cold calling my reraises?

also i dont see why he couldnt have AA or KK here.

most people would be frightened to play one of those hands oop in a 3way pot -- particularly someone who has been playing lag anyway.

Good players will also not 4 bet in that spot with AA or KK (AA especially) because they know that it defines their hand pretty well.

so he's going to be afraid of playing AA/KK oop in a 3way 3bet pot, but he's not going to be afraid of a better hand than a crap jack like QJ here? he's not going to be afraid of bluffing a preflop reraiser by raising the minimum?

something doesn't add up here for me, i think we might have to agree to disagree but i can't for the life of me think of a time where i even saw a c/r minraise bluff in a spot like this. i'd say he is bluffing <5% of the time, more like 1%. i'd say he turns up with a worse jack like 10%, the same jack like 15%, and the rest he has us smoked with JJ+ or even 76s (which fits with the preflop read but i think its kinda unlikely).

i don't know why you play AJ here. it's a terrible deep-stack NL hand especially against a raise.

I might check behind on the flop since your preflop "bluff" has failed. you know you are probably beaten preflop...so if you bet you have to fold to a c/r. checking protects your stack when you are behind and sometimes induces a callable bluff when you are ahead. it also sometimes "freezes" him when he originally planned to attempt a bluff. (because he will sense your tendency to check/call down)

as played i fold. you can only beat a bluff, and i dont think youre getting proper odds to commit your stack. (even though you are against AK sometimes here)
