Message: [QUOTE="300HPGOD, post: 6464291, member: 305911"] Agree with Fundiver above verbatim. I will add that if this is early in the tournament than that means there are no antes or small antes at most. I would think villains at this buy in level are competent so I wouldnt expect them to get out of line in the pre ante or small ante period so this 3 bet is more likely a legit hand. AJ is a hand that can get in some bad spots as we know so if you dont ever feel like villain is folding to your 4 bet (and at this sizing, this deep they probably arent) then I like calling a lot better than 4 betting. Once they 5 bet I think we are smacked on this one although as you bring up the price is good. Although, why would a competent villain (we assume anyway) be 5 betting this small if they didnt want you around. I dont think QQ plays like this so its really one of two hands as already mentioned. With that range I think we could fold here pre (but calling is not wrong) and move on since we are playing with one card essentially thinking that even our straight chances will be heavily blocked if they have KK. It also looks like you are in the SB the way you write the action which makes me like the 4 bet less, at least at the sizing you make it. As for post flop, flop and turn I think are played the only logical way you can play them. I guess leading turn could be open for discussion but not sure why would want to do that if we think villain could have KK and then we are tipping them off we have an ace. The lead would have to be interpreted as a bluff by villain and no way we could know that this early. River, I go with Fundiver here and say you should bet smaller. We should try to get a crying call from KK and I would assume AA will get get stuffed in our face. If we trust our read there then we should fold but its a tough fold just given how much we have and would have in the middle already and with a river bet and that we have top two. If we think top two are beat then we should fold though. [/QUOTE]
