I'm only worried my preflop raise was too small, I didn't use the 3x + 2*limpers rule. If I had, my raise would've been like 520.

How'd I do?

[just me mind you, but PF, i'm just accepting the ever growing pot odds and limp to the flop with caution. a 7x raise here? i don't like that much]

...as it turns out, your PF raise was QUITE effective. but you really need to represent on the flop (considering your sizable raise behind multiple limpers). no donk min crap here from reluctant PF caller. i think you almost have to make it t300ish to go here. you can't justify making such a stand PF, then accepting min bets down to the river -- where often your opponents hand improves before yours. turn&river? meh....petty standard i guess. i think you got lucky here.

Preflop raising with AJo into a field of limpers is something I would never do, even in position.

Calling the flop is fine considering you're getting huge odds. I raise the turn too, probably to t500 or more. And you have to value bet the river.

not a contradiction, i was in late position if that's what you were reffering to

[tigerite]

Well stop raising AJo from the button, it's not strong enough. I love people who do this, that should tell you something about the play.
