I think it was terrible play, but I really would like to know how it should be played correctly.

Preflop std, no reason to fold or 3bet at this point. What are the blinds btw, 75/150?

What better and what worst hands you think will 3bet shove on flop?

UTG range should be very strong here.

Calling PF is fine.

Unless you have reads on him only playing the nuts then you can make a fold OTF but it would be pretty much impossible to get away from TPTK here.

Hey dardarit!

Pre is standard if utg is not super nitty. (18/12 is pretty much the boarder where I'm flatting ajs. and its def. the worst hand I'm flatting here, probably fold is just fine too)

as played no need to raise the flop. Just peel. I mean raise makes no sense at all -> so villain could give you air sometimes, but with your stacksize he doesn't see much fe -> so this raise is really bad!

Greets,
Tiltberger

Im folding pre.... Most players er nitty from utg and without reads i will guess AJs is behind villains range.

Even when we hit AJ is hard to play postflop unless we hit 2 pair or tp flushdraw...

Maybe we give away a tiny bit of EV by folding pre , but we save ourself some difficult desisions for our tournament life, when the boar runs XXJ or XXA and villian chekraises us.

Like Tiltberger said, folding is fine. AJo would be fold. And lets remember there is only 17 hands from opponent.

Often people like to argue that if we hit A (or J) in spot like this, we are often dominated. But villains range also includes some PPs and hands like KQ/KJ/QJ/AT.
