I have built my stake basically by betting pot preflop, and potting the flop no matter what, as of yet nobody has played back, had no idea what to do here. Opinions?

Button (t1675)
SB (t1130)

Yes, very.

You should probably give it up after the flop, and ABSOLUTELY after the turn call.

EDIT: I just noticed that you CALLED the flop. There's no reason to put in any more money once the flop whiffs you.

You made an aggressive raise preflop with AJo. You snagged 3 callers (gotta love on-line play) You got NO piece of the flop. You chose not to make a continuation bet (smart move)
and someone bet 10% of your stack at you. You might have just gone away and waited for a better hand, but NO...it was the button and you thought you still had the best hand and couldn't bear to throw away that AJo, so you called. The turn brings no help, your opponents bets at you again and now you check raise him with Ace High??? You catch absolutely nothing on the river and now it's time for an all-in charade??

You ask if you are crazy?? ..... CERTIFIABLE

So you dont think the button is betting position only here, his bets seem very weak to me, both on flop and turn

i agree i think the play wa out of line. the turn raise was at least a attempt to pick of the pot( i dont about it being a smart one) but when he calls you have to check the river and fold. personally i dont think i make it pass he flop on this one deftitly not turn. the all in on the river bluff. im guess is you did it real quick, right when you got the chance. see this move all to often at the lower level. ussually means a weak hand.

Aside from preflop I hate everything about this hand.
