I don't like the raise from SB with AJs for 4bb with about 10 bazillion limpers. Either make it a proper raise or just complete. Just bear in mind raising bloats the pot and you're going to be OOP on the flop which will make it harder to play.

If you want to raise preflop, you got to bump it up more than t80. (t150?) That said, I just limp along here.

Considering your raise, I like leading the flop.

On the turn, I don't want the guy drawing to anything more. If he has me beat, he's got me beat. Shove turn.

Given the way you played it, you need to push that turn. And I agree with the two posters above me, either complete or make a big raise to knock out most of the limpers.

Id have raised this preflop to t220, or just limped. Raising to t80 is just awful. With the big raise, Im playing the flop aggressivley, leading out. If I just limped, I would check/call.

Don't like the preflop raise in level 1 with aj you need to just complete no point in getting involved in a big pot with aj in the first level. That said you don't really have any choice but to shove the turn there are alot of donks in the 33s who would 1010, j10, jq, jk so you reallyt have no choice but to push on the turn.

PUSH the turn...you get called here with KJ, QJ, J-10, 10-10, and smaller pocket pairs a LOT. I wouldn't worry about JJ-AA; you most likely would have seen a preflop raise with all of those limpers (unless you are playing against the most weak-tight players in the world).
