Villain is a bit loose that's all I have on him so far.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (10 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

UTG (t960)
UTG+1 (t1440)
UTG+2 (t715)
MP1 (t1850)
Hero (t1680)
MP3 (t930)
CO (t142)
Button (t815)
SB (t1725)
BB (t1000)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with A/images/graemlins/heart.gif, J/images/graemlins/club.gif.
<font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, Hero calls t20, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, CO calls t20, Button calls t20, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises to t40</font>, BB calls t20, Hero calls t20, CO calls t20, Button calls t20.

Flop: (t200) K/images/graemlins/spade.gif, T/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, Q/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets t200</font>, BB folds, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t500</font>, Button folds, SB calls t300.

Turn: (t1200) 7/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB Bets 1185(All-in)</font>, Hero??

I call. I would expect to see a set or AA with the spade here more often than a flush. Pushing a flush there doesn't make sense to me.

PS. Raise preflop.

I'm not worried about a flush.

If he has it, so be it. But I call. He could have anything from AK to AT to KJ. He may have a single spade and that's all you probably have to worry about.

First, Open limping with AJ is terrible. This is a raise here every time. Call on the turn and hope he doesn't have a flush. Looks like a set to me, but I could be wrong.

I call and expect to see 2 pair maybe TPTK with the A /images/graemlins/spade.gif or even a poorly played big pair. The logic of pushing a made flush into you here just doesn't make sense with your post flop aggression but I've seen crazier moves. Regardless I call here everytime and if he has the flush or outdraws me on the river, so be it.

Agree. the open-limp is bad. Second, this is an easy call. It is unlikely he has a flush because he'd want to make money with the hand rather than push you out. He probably has a set or 2 pair and you're way ahead. He might also hold a big spade for a redraw.

I think you're ahead here much more often than you're behind.

I folded. It was early in the tourney so I figured I'd have more chances to build up my stack. Calling makes a lot more sense now.
