Pretty obvious this is the only hand he would play this way.

P.S. I get the feeling you're leaving out the 22 times you've said this and been wrong [img]/images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img]

Since this is a read I am sure you are willing to take us through your thought process that eliminated every hand but AJ. Because it wouldn't be a guess that turned out to be right, right?

Your edge here with the PP is pretty negligible. You obviously want fold equity here as taking the blinds is MUCH better than a flip. (It's pretty +cEV and HUGELY +EV as it lowers variance.)

There is no way you're beating whatever game you're playing.
