I'm a limit 2/4 player at party and 3BB/100 winner. But I'm terrible at NL. I was fooling around and opened up a Party 50NL table. I normally wouldn't bother posting an NL hand, but I wanted to know how bad this play was. No particular reads on villian but he has 135 at the table.

You'll probably hear some grumbling about the PFR with AJo. Some around here fold that UTG. And...Position is king in NLHE. Once you get called by all 3 players behind you, you shouldn't CB. Continuation Bets are -EV with more than 2 villians in the hand. So just check and see what they do. As played, probably fold to his flop raise. As played on the turn, meh, don't be surprised to see 5x there.

You could also be looking at 33, JJ, QQ, all of which would call a pf raise without reraising. If villain is tricky, he could also make this play with AA and KK.

As played, I don't raise AJ UTG. I know that's your limit roots telling you to raise, but in NL you really wanna have position, and this is a great example. I will limp it however.

I think I fold to a re-raise on the flop personally, especially without reads. Turn push is ok I suppose. I don't like it very much. Anyone like a c/c turn and river better?

Turn push sucks, the only hands that can call beats you,
AA-JJ, 33, 5x. CO could easily have 66-TT, just c/c down.
