    Hmm, the raiser is short stacked but the button still has just less than 50BBs... I'm probably calling, if not I'm folding but I'm definitely not getting it in.

    Come on Dude, I thought you were uber-tight, this is an insta-fold for you lol.

    3 handed imo A J is pretty huge and i prefer the raise to the limp

    3 handed i probably call here

    Sorry, didn't even notice it was 3handed, thought you'd just not shown the rest of the hand yet because you just wanted a response to this raise. It's a tough one, maybe make it £1.10 ish and call a shove? I don't like a re-raise to put him all in because in that situation if it's me, I'm only calling you with a hand that beats you. I dunno if you got notes on them but I don't think a decent player can call a shove there with A10 and lower or KQ and lower.

    Well they play 1 table and I only been on this for like 3 hands.

    I call this and see a flop. If you re raise, are you willing to call a shove?

    I call and we then have position on pre flop raiser through the streets. Cant be worried about the limper.

    Well the way I saw it at the time the guy who limps can't have a hand so I rule him out and then it's basically heads up and if I played heads up (which I wouldn't set foot near btw lol) I'd rate AJ as a pretty good hand and so raise and get it in. Unfortunately they somehow find KK, run better.......
