50 NL Hand Question

[JRich1230]

5 player NL game, blinds are 1/2 buy in at 50.

Early in the game, stacks still about even.

Hero is UTG w/ AdJd, raise to 2x bb
UTG+1 and UTG+2 fold
SB calls (tight aggresive very good player)
BB folds

Flop comes 8 10 J rainbow

Hero bets pot w/ TpTk

SB re-raises 5x BB.

What would you put SB on? What would be your play?

i'd limp AJs there. for one, unless you're also min-raising AA (which you shouldn't) you're giving away info about your hand.

i'd push. playing in a game with only 25 big blinds means that you're going to want to get TPTK (or even top pair good kicker) and get yourself all-in. the stacks aren't deep enough to get away from this hand, especially in a raised pot.

welcome to the forum.

Thanks for the reply. I did push, and he did lay down and show pocket 6s. He is a strong player but makes alot of plays at somewhat large pots. Thanks again.
