I had 20BB and my table broke, and we went on dinner break.

First hand back, unknown UTG with 25BB raises 2.5x, I'm in middle with AJ of hearts. Is this a snap fold or snap shove? I elected to flat.

Flop 776 with 2 hearts. UTG shoves and now I have to call*, he has KK, brick-brick and I'm out.

*I guess it's a snap fold or snap fold, or is this results revisionist history?

Thanks

Personally, I'm not shoving vs. a random UTG opener but never folding, so flatting for 12% of my stack is the only realistic option. There is so little that you fold out (AQ maybe but not likely) when you shove. Once that flop hits, it is an easy call with 11 assumed outs and actually having 10 @ showdown.

Don't we have 12 outs as played, and sometimes 15 (if villain has 88-TT)?

I think call pre is only play, and agree we have to sighcall flop.

AJs is probably at the bottom of my calling range here vs. unknown in a seniors tournament, but probably still a call. Don't think jamming makes much sense and folding is probably a bit tight, although I think AJo and ATs might be ok folds.

As played it's a gross spot but there's no way we can fold.
