Looking at this, I'm pretty sure I made the right play pushing, because of my low stack and the hand value. Villain also has a 50% VPIP and 38% PFR on only 8 hands though.

The things working against me are that villain's raise size is large enough that I have no fold equity. I'll just post it anyway for any input.

Absolutly, you did the right thing sir. You can't wait more as you expect AJ to probably be your best hand for a double up. No shame there, just poker.

You don't necessarily want fold equity against hands you dominate so I wouldn't worry about that. The fact he can have opened some kind of JTs type hand looking at the other stacks which he's now forced to call off against you is a bonus.

Ok good point man. His VPIP and PFR suggest I'm likely well ahead of that range with AJo.

i wouldnt judge anything based on 8hands. he might be a maniac or maybe he was dealt premiums. folding ajo is too nitty, but he 3x of 13bb stack. it doesnt look he's folding very often. he's probably a rec, so hard to say wtf he's thinking. im still shoving this hand
