This was fairly early in a PS $11. Earlier Villain had cost himself a couple of hundred when he kept betting into his opponent holding 2 to a 3456 board. Of course opponent had a 7.

My thinking pre-flop was OOP with all these limpers I didn't want to get married to the pot, so I decided to keep it small. Is that terrible?

So I flop TP, and bet the flop and the turn. I put Villain on a weak Ace. I don't really know what I was thinking with the river check.

What am I to make of his river all-in?

Folds and stays away from AJo in level 1 in the future. It's a crap hand dressed up as a good hand. Later on in the SnG it makes for excellent pushing material though.

Sorry, but folding AJo for 15 chips into 150 pot preflop? That's poor poker.

Ok, thanks.

Now pretend I have AK.

I may have gone for a check-raise on the flop, but other than that you did fine. I would check-fold the river if my opponent pushed.
Folding preflop is NOT an option. No one has raised, so it's not likely that you're dominated.

If hero knows how to stay out of trouble postflop, sure. If hero doesn't but keep playing it like TPTK when villains actions should make him back off, it is chipsaving poker.

I am not seriously advocating folding preflop, more like caution postflop.
