Hero ?

What'd I run into? How should I have done this differently on all streets?

My thoughts on flop was I planned to bet this amount anyway, so I bet it as a raise instead. Should i be more wary with minbets? Sometimes its "I'm too weak to bet more" and sometimes its "here fishy fishy fishy"

re-reading this, I'm now wondering what the heck I was doing. Now this feels like a stupid question. So, just a continuation bet turned into a raise and didn't scare him off... next. Or is there a bigger error in here?

Why not just fold the flop

why are you makeing a big raise in early postion with AJo? does A-Q,A-K, JJ, QQ,KK,AA mean anything?

I apprecaite the feedback, but all I've read is the same sort of questions I have.
Why fold preflop? Because it's early and AJ is just another Ax until we get shorter handed or bigger blinds? or something I'm missing?

Thanks for the input, I just need some "why" in there. I knew something was bad with this, but I'd like help understand the specifics, not just agreement that I was bad.

Thanks!
