Hope he is bluffing or has like A6-AT and call.
Why no 3bet pre?

I really fold because I don't think villain is gonna fire river with AJ or worst because your hand looks like what it is AQ,AJ.

Unless he is that aggro then snap it off.

you can 3-bet pre for value. You can raise flop.
Interested in the reasoning behind both calls.

Would have really preferred to 3bet pre in hindsight.

On the flop I didn't see any point in raising. (?) My image was tight and I figure I'm folding out a lot of worse hands. The Turn, as played, I could have raised to protect I suppose but tbh I don't have a good reason for having just called.

I don't see any point in raising the flop either... if he 3-bets you have to pay him off because you're pretty much repping a bluff by raising that board... I call it off on the turn and river as played, but it might be spew... I think you're splitting a lot. unless he's retarded he's never bluffing the river, but his range is very wide and he certainly could have any ace... Don't make the mistake of thinking that he's thinking about your calling range. Chances are he isn't.

I'd only raise the flop if I had been messing with the guy already and he's been showing that he's getting impatient/frustrated.

Whether or not I call this river is very, very dependent on who villain is...

edit: hmmm...raising the flop might be okay vs this guy since he's been really aggro, you might level him into rebluffing you/felting a flush draw or something. If you don't have the right dynamic/image though I think you'll just fold out all his air that he may/may not be firing on the turn.

3bet PF and/or Raise flop
