This is my first posted hand. My biggest question is do you think it was best not to reraise the flop &amp; turn to keep other players in the hand or could I have gotten more $.

Thanks.

1/2 hands go in micro

anyway...

fold preflop, AJo is a crap hand against a raise out of position

3 bet the flop

given that you didn't 3 bet the flop you have to 3 bet the turn

I don't have a big problem with waiting for the turn to raise here but you really should have 3 bet the turn. The only reason not to 3 bet the flop is so you have a better chance to 3 bet the turn. Get your money in the pot!!!
