The opponent had been playing quite a few pots only the 1 showdown which he had something, i thought i'd put the pressure on for him to call and be behind or fold
Ok, so it's 5 handed and you're all roughly equal I think.
The min-raise after a limper is pretty horrid and I would fold just because of this as the limper still has to act after you. You have no need to get busy at this stage.
As played, however, it's very difficult. It looks like you've tried to keep the pot small with the call on the flop which isn't a bad idea generally in these kind of spots I don't think. Having said that, that's not really going to happen here as there's been a raise and 2 callers pre-flop. Really you wanted him to check the turn and river didn't you? (I would have in this spot). With his bet being so weak on the flop I think you should have raised to 750 (a tiny raise but I think you should just pray it's enough to ask a question of a poor opponent) and folded to a shove (knowing that, in a £5.50 DYM you're laying the best hand down quite often, particularly vs KJ,QJ, TJ). But you'd still have 10BB to find a better spot which is plenty.
Were it not for the initial limper, btw, I like a 3 bet to 750 pre, folding to a shove and being aware that AK, AQ are very likely holdings if he flats.

welcome nice first post im priviliged
well handed AJ suited is pretty strong, but i can understand everyone saying fold pre, could be ahead but might aswell let the others fight for it or play a small pot as its DYM
I would raise flop and shove turn, highly likely he has a jack but u got tk so i would shove and go for the win!!!!!
I think folding pre is probably best, which is the reason I hardly ever play them!
I'll will explain more later if necessary, im off to work now.
Your aim here with a decent suited drawing hand is not to knock people out. Better to win a small pot than lose a big one in DYM.
Look at the two possible results of your shove here, you lose 5 quid or a third closer to winning 10. You got to win this at least 2 times in 3 for it to be a profitable move!
How did this hand end btw? His flop/turn bets stink over pair, from min raise I would say QQ most probably as he would be fearing aces and kings too much to put more in.
thanks everyone yeah this was big mistake, poor by x as they had KK but it worked lol so many people do this in Dym cant think why its ridiculous and usually i would re-raise them pre but had feeling x was strong just got clingy to top pair top kicker
definately should have re-raise pre then go into shut down or what not, also looking back was obvious they had hand like KK,AA or QQ and just a silly move which in the heat of the moment i thought it was the correct play, but as joe has said i would need to win these 2/3 times to be profitable also that doesnt gurantee me cashing. I usually do look at it win a small pot and not lose a big point but went out the window here. i will get back on the DYM tomorrow night probably as was doing ok up to this then lost a few
