1/3/6/20 no option, NLHE, 9 handed, 1k cap
V - Quiet young asian. Fanny pack. Complete unknown and we have about 2-3 hours with him at this point. He's been quiet and TAG pre and folded a lot. Hasn't had any showdowns. Every time he opens (~10% of hands), he has been 3-bet and folded, except for once where he 4-bet jammed. He bought in for 1k and has been around this mark for awhile, never limping, rarely calling pre (~15% VPIP). Seems aware. 1250$. MP (first to act pre).
HH - active mawg opens 50, two calls IP, V squeezes 250 from blinds, H wakes up with QQ in 20$ UTG+1 and cold shoves ~800$, everyone folds.
---- We cover from LJ
V opens MP to 55 off 1250, H sees his favourite hand (AJ) A♣ J♠ next to act in LJ...

Second to act with AJo facing a UTG raise? Fold. Cool thread.
I presume you didn't start this thread to say that you folded, though...
Playing a 50BB max BI game is essential not to make fundamental preflop mistakes. Stay disciplined, don’t be lazy and just fold this hand.
Hero reluctantly folds thinking, "damn, I didn't get to play my favorite hand this time."
I am always dubious of VPIP percentages in threads on this forum, but I will bite: have you looked at what the top ten percent of hands are on a NLHE chart? AJo is ahead of maybe one combo.
If villain is positionally aware, and ranges are tighter, the picture gets extremely dire.
I guess it's possible that villain has just been card dead for a couple hours and is actually looser than we think, but that's a pretty big assumption to make in order to take such a marginal spot.
In theory as you add more blinds everyone should play tighter. This is a weird setup though given the 20 is 3.33x the next blind instead of 2x.
Although it doesn't actually matter here as AJo is probably a fold LJ vs. LJ-1 at 100bb with 2 blinds.
Amusingly with 1 straddle and 100bb AQo finds some folds in HJ vs. MP.
Definitely don't call. It's okay to fold. Only because we might suspect he over-folds to 3B's, I could see a case for re-raising.
