This is the fourth hand of the match. First two hands buttons were raised and people folded. Third hand I raised to 90 and he shoved for 1500. This is the following hand. I 3bet with the intention of calling a shove, assuming he was a crazy guy... I had a feeling he would shove again.

Standard?

2 tottaly difrent spots. hand 3 ur openraising and villain 3bet shoves. This hand villain openraise, u 3bet (whitch is standard obv) But im folding usually to 4bet shove bc i dont have enough info to call. AJ is my cut off allso and i cant see it as a leak vs unknown.

It might be a different spot, but it also tells me that he's ready to put his chips in the middle. I see guys do this sometimes but I can't possibly imagine what hand I would shove 1500 over 90 with. I just don't see the point.

once you 3bet to 270, you shouldn't be folding to a shove at this stake level vs this guy. nh

3bet folding AJs seems pretty ugly to me. I'd call the shove.

Sometimes you just need 1 hand. Who cares if he showed up with AK or w/e. Your thought process is fine.
