If I'm not in the BB, i think I just fold the AJ to the raise. I know I do in fact. Do I check it down and fold to a bet from the quads? Do I fold instead of defending there?

AJ doesnt play well 3 handed & OOP
S1 is gonna call if you only call he probally folds to a shove..
Fold or shove pre.
I personally fold w/o reads.

The more I think about it, I should have folded. The shove I never even thought about there for some reason, mighta been short on time, crunching numbers, maybe the guy was playing loose. Coulda used my 'time' to think it over a bit more. Tough hand.
Quad flop. Ouch.

I agree that shove or fold is pretty much the only options. Calling sucks. If you think he's shoving light and utg is really loose then isolate w/ AJ. Usually I agree that folding is better.

i just open-fold here. AJ is a marginal hand at best, and with an EP raise and a shove, you're definitely behind. fold

Seeing how the second raise all in was only 2k more to the orginal raiser, he knows he isnt getting fold equity at, thus making his range alot stronger then some random 3bet shove. Your almost never ahead of his range, easy fold pre, you can find better spots for sure.

Not true, Dont ALWAYS do anything. Make your chocies based on situation. HERE it seems your really far behind their range.

Perhaps always is too strong a word but for the most part the advice is solid.
