weird hand. PF call fine, i like the flop c/r, cleared out a couple. Bet came from a funny place, mind...not the PF raiser.

Turn is fine, i wouldn't 3-bet here

River odd. SB coming to life on a relative "blank" - 56 for the straight? or just plain mad? I'd call the river for 2 reasons:

1) to see SB's hand and odd betting

2) because if SB is just crazy and betting on Q4 or something, you have a good chance of being ahead of CO with KQ or something (?) and you don't want to fold a potential winner, even if it's only TPGK.

Looks good after the flop but I usually fold AJo from BB in a raised pot. You can be dominated or outdrawn in a big field.

I follow the advice of SSH and it advocates to call with AJo on BB when the pot has been raised. And since the CO and button cold-called (=big pot) I thought that calling was justified.
