Hi everyone,

here's a hand I played. The outcome was pretty good for me, which is why I wanted to see if people agree with my play or not. Villain is what I deem to be a competent 25/20 LAG.

Preflop, I like to 3bet here because a fold seems to tight and a call too passive, especially since there is a fish on the button and I would have played the hand 3-handed probably, which is suboptimal for AJo, I think.

My flop bet is maybe debatable, but I do think it folds out some AQ and AK combos and I have decent equity with 2 overcards and the gutshot.

On the turn, I don't see what hands I could fold out so I decide to take the free card.

On the river, I couldn't come up with hands worse than mine that would call me and I felt there was a good chance of being check-raised, including by bluffs, to which I would have to fold and which would have been a terrible result.

Thanks everyone for their feedback.
