Listen, here's the thing. If you can't spot the sucker in the first half hour at the table, then you ARE the sucker. (Rounders)

Well, he is kinda loose-passive (high VPIP, high WtS, low AF). They like to call with worse, they rarely try to bluff, semi-bluff with mediocre hand.

The best decision, in my opinion, would be to fold on turn. He definitely feels very strong, your 2P isn't good enough.
What can you do? Fish hit. Fold, move on.

P.S. I would probably call as you did (it's really hard to fold, especially when we invested so much in pot).

Hi.

Preflop: I think calling here is fine. AJs plays so much better especially when you have position in multiway pots as compared to AJo.

Flop: No way im ever folding here, especially not on that turn. In villain's shoes I would often check/raise all-in with hands like AQ mostly as a protection play. The pot is already so big, the caller can be committed with so many draws on the Turn, and so many river cards are just ugly for the caller
