tricky/scary TPTK oop: 6max 400

[Marlow]

Villian just sat down, so no reads. 6max 400. Villian has 400 and I cover.

EP limps. I make it 20 to go with AJo. Folded to Button who minraises it to 40 straight. All fold to me, and I call (but hate it).

Pot= ~90

Flop: J x x

Hero??

My initial raise is standard in this game. It is a huge money maker and I do it with a lot less. I rarely get reraised. Frankly, I'm happier calling with 78s than AJo in this situation (mainly because anything less than 2pr is very tough to play with AJo). I decide that it's worth taking a shot and call. Is this wrong? Should I lay this down?

On the flop, I think that the best line may be to stick in a 3/4 pot bet and see what happens. But I'm not sure...

Thanks for your help,

Marlow

fold PF if you dont know this guy...
check/fold flop. very easy.

I play it the same (lead the flop).

Fold this one preflop - I just don't see how it can be profitable post-flop.

He already mentioned that he hated his call preflop.

I'd lead for very close to the pot here. Bet 90 and go from there.
