Meh. As played, of course its a good call. Actually, I would probably continue the charade and lead the turn myself. Your holding just improved after all. I don't want to c/c a PSB from villian, so I'd rather lead it myself for around 1/2 pot (which is consistent with your betting on this hand).

Also, your PFR is light. Use the guide 4xBB + 1BB per limper in situations like this. What's the standard opening raise preflop at this table? .10? If so, maybe use 5xBB + 1BB per limper. Either way, you should have made it around .15 to go.

Also, with 3 limpers in ahead of you, AJs isn't strong enough for a PFR here IMO. Just hop right on the limpers caravan with that hand in your position.

Well played. I wouldn't fire the turn as K anything is going to call you at this level. Keep it cheap, you've got plenty of outs for the river.
