Played against a hyper-aggressive Polak on Stars. This happened. I had no information about his stats. Is there anything in his play that could have told me that he did not hold AQ in this position or any other two pair combo? I feel like I should not have called this.

QJ off is a pretty loose open from early position, especially full ring (which has it's own separate forum by the way - this one is for 6-max). You're not going to feel all that good about putting lots of money in with top pair 3rd kicker, especially in a multiway pot.

No, not even remotely standard. Also, you want to put this in the full-ring forum.

Ok, noted on forums.

Anything about the Polak's play?

You should buy-in full and have auto re-buy on always. Don't open limp ever. If you misclicked pre fold to the raise. Don't open this hand until late position. It's fine to call it in the bb to a late position open.

As played, I guess you can call the turn, but fold to the river bet. You're basically always beat.

Buy in full, fold PF, bet turn as played I guess but it's a fold PF and not close.
