Disclaimer: I am not a regular NL50 player. This hand is from a private home game where I have a separate BR for.

Villain: 46/10 (404 hands)

Villain is passive but had woken up a bit when we were only 3 handed.
I was quite aggressive the previous couple of hands.

Also, I really have no idea how to play so deep. My feeling is that I can call a small 4bet here with AJo OOP.
But maybe I should just fold?

Hero (SB): 453.12 BB
BB: 295.94 BB
BTN: 478.64 BB

Hero posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has J♦ A♥

BTN raises to 2 BB, Hero raises to 9 BB, fold, BTN raises to 17 BB, Hero calls 8 BB

On the plus side the 4bets on the smaller side and were deeper and on the minus side were oop so i think calling is ok preflop given those factors.Being 3 handed may or may not make a difference it depends if and how villain is adjusting.Obviously don't go mad postflop with 1 pair your looking to hit more nutted hands.

In general I would not be calling 4bets with AJo but his sizing is just too small so call is fine.

In theory this is definitely a call

In practice vs a 46/10 guy you should fold cos he has JJ+/AK 90% of the time and it's just unplayable. you're dominated with an Ace, and dominated with a Jack

It's interesting to know how you played this hand post-flop as well.
It's a really deep stack situation. It could be interesting.

For sure, here it is:

Flop is x/f or x/c depending on size IMO.
Turn likewise. I think a probe bet would not accomplish much.

On the river I do not beat anything except AJ-AT (but these hands are not likely). I loose against TT+, AQ+. So I fold.

True, but being so deep can't I call for 2pair+ value, especially against a potential calling station? (pot odds=23%)

personally on that run out i would stab the turn with the gs+over card and check the river for showdown now we made second pair otherwise well played imo.
