Ok I was really debating if my preflop call was terrible or not well here goes nothing
6hand (6-max) .02/.05 table my stats were something like 43/34 my stack was(6.75) my villian was about 38/23 I'm in the cutoff he is utg+1 he raises to $.14 there is a mid pos caller. I re-pop to $.90 AsJs after a little thought the original raiser re-pops it again to $2.08??? From this moment I put him on tight range TT+ I called him to see a flop my tought process is we are 6hand both of us have been very attactive at this table and it is likely he is trying to steal with a weak ace or I'm crushed against a bigger ace or pair. I took the flop thinking I can't fold if an ace hits the flop, check folding seems too weak? What is ur opinion
You can't win pots if you fold.

You should convert your hand history into something much more reader-friendly using this:

Poker Hand History HH Converter: Full Tilt Poker,PokerStars,PartyPoker

From what you wrote, I'm not sure whether you have AJ or whether youre trying to put someone on a range. Regardless, a few things you should consider:

- You should consider tightening up ... a lot
- AJs is not a hand you want to be 3betting with against most opponents at 5NL
- As played, you should fold after villain's 4bet and completely forget about seeing a flop. His 4bet range crushes AJ, which is marginal to start with.


On an unrelated note, your sig tilts me.
Tilt is poker cancer. You catch it, you die.

You have a raise and a caller. Your explanation seems to totally ignore the first caller. He either has a monster PP or at least an ace which removes one of your outs not to mention probably having you out kicked anyway. Just fold pre and wait for a better spot. IMO with a raise and caller, QQ+ and AKs for 3-bet and to call his 4-bet KK+

So you are going to 3bet QQ/AK and fold if he 4bets?

This is just my opinion and probably not correct BUT,
with loose stats like the villian, i'm seeing them fold a lot to my 3 bets and only 4 betting with KK and AA. Not always but loose doesn't necessarily mean stupid. If villian calls my 3 bet rather than raise then i can play based on board texture. I'm no pro here so if i'm dead wrong please explain....(i usually on play FR so playing 6 max may be different)

Okay. Why do we call off 1/3 of our stack with AJs against a range that has us crushed?
