Spewing in the $100r?

After the hand I was thinking AQ+ and 99+ is probably a call, what would you call with?

[/ QUOTE ]
this seems pretty good... so why did you call with AJ?

I think AJ is fine here.

UTG+1 has an insanely wide range
MP1, if a good player, will isolate with a range that AJ does fine against

[/ QUOTE ]I thought it was +ev, but I wasn't sure so I posted in a poker strategy forum to see what others thought.
Losing the hand is pretty likely to have influenced how I felt about it...

I think people habitually play too loose in these spots.

I'd fold without thinking twice about it.

I think like AQ, 99+ or something. Maybe TT+.

I'm sure you realize but your range should be tighter and tighter the further you are from closing the action.

Should we be suspicious that UTG+1 is raising instead of shoving? At the lower stakes I find this usually means AA/KK/AK

seems like this is a simple fold pf. calling off a third of your stack after that action with AJ is too spewy, so often you're dominated here

this hand is very player dependent and without a read on middle position it is hard to make the correct choice here. Since he is unknown to you, then I probably fold preflop if you have seen him fold for a few rounds in a row. IT is still a close call though and I am probably overshoving.

calling over a 1/3 of your stack in a 3-way pot with a hand like AJ is not the thing to do.

[/ QUOTE ]I assume you are referring to the second push? I was last to act...
Edit: initial raiser's call was trivial.
