    Default 2 (spewy?) hands

    About 2 orbits ago I 3-bet Villain pre-flop when I had Aces and he folded. Otherwise we have no history together. I have him as a ~25/20 over 50 hands when this takes place.

    Full Tilt Poker
    No Limit Holdem Ring game
    Blinds: $0.50/$1
    5 players

    Stack sizes:
    UTG: $149.70
    CO: $100
    Button: $139.30
    Villain: $222.50
    Hero: $140.55

    Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is BB with A T
    3 folds, Villain raises to $3.5, Hero calls.

    Flop: 7 5 3 ($7, 2 players)
    Villain bets $6, Hero raises to $20, Villain raises to $55, Hero folds.
    Uncalled bets: $41 returned to Villain.

    Results:
    Final pot: $47

    This hand is probably not that great. If I really wanted to play this one, a float would probably have been better. But whatever, this is not the hand I want to talk about.

    2 hands later:

    Full Tilt Poker
    No Limit Holdem Ring game
    Blinds: $0.50/$1
    6 players

    Stack sizes:
    UTG: $0
    UTG+1: $139.30
    Villain: $243.65
    Hero: $116.55
    SB: $148.70
    BB: $101.50

    Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is Button with J A
    UTG+1 folds, Villain raises to $3.5, Hero raises to $11, 2 folds, Villain raises to $33, Hero folds.
    Uncalled bets: $25.5 returned to Villain.

    Results:
    Final pot: $23.5

    This is the hand that I really want some input on. First of all, is my re-raise here too spewy considering our past hands? Or does anyone find anything other than a fold to his 4-bet? And finally and most importantly, what would be an appropriate calling/raising range against his 4-bet? I think I have a leak of not gambling it up quite enough in situations like these, and my range is probably way too tight.

    You probably ran into hands or he was in a more aggro gear. Oh well, keep chopping wood.

    I don't really like 3-betting with AJo, even if I'm on the button. Villain doesn't seem that loose, so he probably has a real hand. I'd pick a better spot to test him.
    My sig is too much for you to handle.

    they both look fine to me. you dont really have any fold equity to 5bet in #2, and reraising was not a bad move really but I kinda agree with freechus especially since in this context he might start calling or 4betting you with AQ/AK etc.
    I don't really no what a good pushing range would've been there, but imagine at least JJ+,AK would be.
