i think you're going to run into aa/kk quite a bit here.
only exception is if he's some superfish that overvalues AJ
yeah i'd probably fold
i suppose 3betting preflop is an option to define your hand better

why define your hand more?

this si only 7 handed so 3betting should definitely be considered preflop. I'm not folding river without knowing the opponent a little.

i think there's no need for tricky play at 50NL, and hands are much easier to play being the preflop aggressor
and if you just flat you let others come in pretty cheap for a multiway pot
there's also a chance he'll turn his hand faceup and 4bet/4betshove AA/KK, making it an easy preflop fold

but i'm sure he has AA/KK here, possibly JJ, and there's really nothing you beat when he puts the rest of his stack all in by the river, lol maybe hope that he has QQ and you get a chop, but that's being optimistic

i'd fold a lot of the time, but not all. its a huge 65bb decision heh

3betting this guy makes us the preflop agressor, but it polarizes our range, and defines our hand which we don't want to be doing.

its not a tricky play, its just keeping the bottom half of his range in play, and it also works as a good spot for pot control if h does show up with a big hand.

without stats this is a fold.

i call

but i don't play the hand as you do, you played bad

I call hes not betting a T on the turn and he never has a 4 if he has JJ/KK/AA tough shit

i muck
