AJs, 5 left of 125, $30 BossMedia

[grasiu]

5 left of 125 players. Typicall payout structure. Big raise in payouts from 3rd spot.

Not much reads on Villain. He was playing usually quite straightforward, but with rare ununderstandable moves (donky raise / meare call). 2BB would seem like maybe blind steal, 3BB raise shows he *probably* has sth, but rather not a monster.

HERO ??


I feel bad in this hand, though I have not much idea how to play it right. I have (a not strong) feeling that he has a small pair that he won't fold to preflop all-in. To fold AJs while I have 9xBB in stack seems bad. To call bad. To push preflop maybe best, but I feared to get knocked out...

What should I have done?
Any comments apprieciated.
