I like your line there. You can't fold that hand on the turn nor the river. Top two, I would make him show me KdXd. He also may have something like AxKd and picked up the pair plus a flush draw.

Call on turn was good and so was your action on the river. No need to get fancy just call and hope your hand is good.

Curious to here his actual holding.

Good luck!

with no read on MP1 i think ur line is standard. obviously a flush or a small set would suck.

With no read on MP1 I would fold PF.

The rest looks fine.

Lay it down PF without a read on MP1, but the rest looks good.

Thanks for your input. Yeah, I agree that I was getting feisty by 3-betting it PF against an unknown. A laydown is probably +EV.

Villain was holding JJ. So... I was dominated the entire hand. I was pretty glad he c/r'd me on the turn... if he would have shown aggression on the flop, he would have made much more money.

How about a cold call PF? Might turn into a nice multiway pot where your AJs does pretty well. A reraise does exactly what you don't want: being heads-up with the PF raiser with a dominated hand.
