Game has been playing very loose preflop. Not uncommon to see 5-6 players call a preflop raise.
3 limpers then Villain(@$200 behind) on button limps, SB completes, and Hero is in BB with A
J
(@$400 behind) checks his option.
Flop: J
4
2
SB checks, Hero leads for $15. Folds to Villain who calls. SB(very aggro) check raises to $45, Hero and Villain call. 3 handed to turn.
Turn: 7
SB checks, Hero checks. Villain thinks for a minute. I was getting the vibe that he might just check b/c he at not point was counting his chips, and then shoves for his last @$150.
SB folds, Hero?
Brief History with villain: He'd only been at the table for about an hour or so. Bought for $200, lost most of it, and wound stacking his last $75 to hero a few hands earlier with 74o on a JJ7 flop. Ironically, Hero had AJ in that hand as well.
