Think I misplayed this at various parts. First, V was rarely raising pre flop, so maybe should have just called.

On flop, can you ever fold? Just feels super nitty, but it is a big raise, and if I don't improve I'm folding to basically any future bet.

Turn is odd. Idk why V checked. I wonder if a small bet here from me is ever warranted?

Anyways, on the shove, I just don't see V arriving here with any bluffs. Probably pocket aces. Can't see myself ever finding a hero call here. Although I was getting some devious thoughts as I thought about V's turn check ...

Thoughts?

This 4bet size 190 BB deep doesn't accomplish much, and the 4bet with AJs is pretty bad to start with in my opinion: you should 4bet clear value hands or some trash ones you don't mind folding vs 5bet.

I would fold river.

I think it's a call preflop.

As played - don't hate folding on the flop against this big raise.

Agree its a call preflop and, given raise size, a fold on flop
