    ran into a hand last night and i'm wondering if a better line could have been taken.

    UTG, is a little drunk and has been raising a really wide selection. opening K10+, 66+ from MP, hasn't opened much from earlier position, mostly limp calls. Seen him call some 20BB all in's w/ bottom pair. I have been super card dead, until recently when when I picked up AQ and KK back to back and went from 10BB to 45ish. other history between me and UTG. at around 4/8+100 I shoved QJo for 14BB in HJ he called with K10 from CO, I river a J and he got a little pissy. - not bad, but I was like come on guy?

    Okay we are 130/305. blinds 8/16 + 200 I have 45K, villain has 60-70K.

    He opens UTG for 4.2K. I call with AJo form BB.
    Flop is Jd5c7c. I check call 7K .
    Turn is 3c. I check, He bets 7K, I shove.

    Thoughts? I didn't really wanna play a monster pot at this point OOP, thats why I called the PF and flop bets. His range certianly includes hands I'm beating, but it also has QQ+ and a host of other grabage that kills me. The 7K bet on the turn, was just weird maybe an A or Kc trying to get there cheap, maybe over /under pair hoping to get a cheap showdown after scary turn. I do not have a redraw with a Club

    I dunno about you, but I consider that a pretty reasonable tight range from MP, so his EP range should be pretty tight. Assuming he's positionally aware and will be adjusting his opening range accordingly this is a pretty easy fold preflop given we'll be playing the entire hand OOP.

    As played, check-raise flop 'cause of the flush draw. Calling or folding pre-flop is totally dependant on your read on the villain, but it does seem a little weak of a calling hand IMO, call with pairs or high suited connectors, rather than mid strength aces.

    in retrospect calling pre is pretty marginal and really put me in a tough spot. C/R flop seems reasonable, I guessI can expect calls from F-Draw, which gets my money in better.
