Ok, No key notes on this guy. He looks pretty TAG compared to the other donks in this mtt, I got AJ in position, wouldn't always call here but I am in the mood for taking flops first hour this time around.

Neab: ...?


I know I played the hand strange, especially not betting turn, but i figure if i bet turn I am committed to the hand , and I really don't see an overpair check calling flop bet. It's a tough spot, I wanted cheapshowdown when i hit my ace then he leads river. I thought maybe he has10-9 suited or something but how agressve players are, he'd probably lead that flop or c/r it.


What you guys think? Fold, Call or ReRaise?

I don't see any option but to call the river after checking the turn. Your hand is massively under-repped.
