Lol AJ, the timer ran out before you could call..........that has happend to me a lot, and I always say it is probably for the better. Last time that happened to me I had AA on a JJJ board lol.

Anywho, as played I would probably have called......I mean especially since Villian has been quite the aggro player, and we have committed so much of our stack already.

I think flatting Villan's re-raise pre-flop is the more optimal play as Six mentioned, since blinds are still small and we have a chance of getting away from the hand if we do not connect with the board.

I know a lot of online players who are limping in with Ax hands bvb to disguise their hand and because it is so hard to know where a player is when you raise pf in this spot, as bb is in the defensive to protect the blinds.

Congratulations AJ on your victory!!!

The reason I reraised is because I figured Villian:

1. Most likely didn't have a hand better than mine in a 3-handed situation

2. Probably thought my hand strength wasn't as good as it was in the situation

So I felt that my holding was best and didn't think that cold-calling his reraise preflop was optimal, because then we are seeing a flop out of position with a bloated pot and surrendering the control/aggression to our opponent.
