How do you play this (AJs on the button)?

With your read I agree with your play. The folding equity here is key. If you read him for a set you cant make this play because he is not going to fold. I would have done that in this situation but it turns out you made a great read. He showed you the best possible hand you could expect here. The thing is, if he flipped his hand up I would have looked. I could not resist the temptation here plus given that he showed what he showed I would make it seem as if I really wanted a call. Because even after I find out that I am slightly ahead, I dont like to play for my entire stack as a 2% favorite. Your a coin flip now for $250. Although I do like the whole "Im not looking" angle.

I think the main point of pushing here is for the folding equity and a fold is what I would want. I dont know if you could have got him to lay it down though. Perhaps you could have flipped over your J and said he will have to pay to see the red one!

If the player has been tight, you have to put him on either 2-2, 9-9, A-9 suited or k-9 suited, and he is betting to eliminate the flush draw. You have to figure that he'll probably call your all-in for only $90 more, so your best bet would likely be to call the $75 and see that turn card so that if you miss you'll still have some money left. Of course, you could always feel like gamblin' a bit... which you did. And 10's? Thats definitely nice to see from your standpoint, but unfortunately you just didn't make your hand.
