Hand from 1/2 NL Live

I agree with the others you both played it poorly. He shouldn't have called your push, but you also made two mistakes
1. Calling preflop - AJ is too hard to play in tis situation,IMO.
2. Pushing all in when you could easily be dominated.

Otherwise I would have folded this hand twice, preflop,and to the $100 post flop bet.

You can't be serious. Whether or not you think Hero should be in this hand, he is. Now he flops top pair, decent kicker and you expect him to fold for an underbet of $100 into a $120 pot after everyone else has gotten out of the way and Hero has only about the size of the pot behind? That's ridiculous. The time to get out of this hand is before you call the pre-flop raise, not after you've you've hit the flop.

You should have folded pre-flop but once you saw that flop, there's not much chance of keeping your money out of the middle. Don't call raises with AJo, especially not out of position against multiple opponents. You're not calling $20 pre-flop with $220 more behind because you have odds to fish for a AAJ flop, so all this "fold the flop" stuff is total bunk in my opinion but you wouldn't have had this problem if you'd just gone away pre-flop.
