Hero: (250)
Villain: (110)
Straddled pot:

I have AJo in LP with a couple limps in front of me, I raise to 20 looking to isolate;
V1 on my left calls, He's clearly tilted , playing pretty reckless compared to rest of the table so I figure his range is pretty wide here but not any two cards.

F:823; (2 spades)I c-bet 20 here thinking this board doesn't really hit either of us that much and I don't want to give a free card to his range, my A-high should be beating a decent amount of those hands I think. He calls

T:8; He only has 70 left here, pot is around 85; I think this is good card for me bc all the flush and straight draws missed so I want to deny equity to those hands and put pressure on smaller PP's; if he had an 8 I was already behind and he wasn't folding so I think this is one of the better turns to barrel, I bet 50;

Did I get too carried away here with A-high?

Yes, you got carried away. And if you're going to bet big OTT, just shove. Leaving him 20 behind is pointless.

That said, there is no need to barrel here. You have SDV and he has an 18% chance of hitting a draw at best if he doesn't already have you beat. He's tilted, so he's never folding any hand that beats you. Just check.

Yes, given stack sizes. If he were deeper and bet here I might consider a float or a bluff raise, but not with less than a PSB behind.

You're in a difficult spot on the flop, since you're OOP for a "dynamic" flop [c.f. Janda] where nearly any turn card has the potential to improve the Villain's hand.

Against a stack this short, I probably just push AI on the flop.
