MS $355 Tough Lady

Mohegan Sun starting with 35,000 chips. Blinds are 500/1000 BB ante 1000.

Villain is a woman I have played with a lot at Foxwoods though not since Covid. She is a very good player. Her action varies and she is very unpredictable. She raises a lot more than most women and her range can be widish. She also 3-bets a lot more than most women.

Villain has about 46,000 chips and I have about 75,000. I had been as low as 18,000 and as high as 85,000. I basically doubled up against a guy in a 3-way hand at this level when there was a UTG raise a call and I called with T8s OTB. Flop was T82 flush draw possible, UTG bet 2500 UTG+2 called and I raised to 10,000 fold call. Turn was a 3, check I shoved (UTG+2 had a little more than pot and I thought he was possibly on a draw) UTG+2 tanked and called with JTo and I held.

I have AJs and am in the CO, Villain is UTG and raises pre-flop to 3000. She had previously raised to 2x at this level. Earlier she had raised pre-flop to 2.5x. It could be a little bit about her hand so I thought she could have hands like TT/QQ/JJ here. Folds to me and I call. I rarely would raise here vs a UTG open unless its a Solver type guy. In this case I thought Villain had a big hand and might very well 4 bet which I did not want. I wanted to play AJs.

Flop is J33 with a possible flush draw. Villain checks and I bet 5,000. Villain snap shoves. The sizing is actually right on. If she raises 4x it would be 20,000 which would be almost half her stack. Even 3x would be over 33% of her stack. My immediate thought was she doesn't have QQ/KK because why would she let that check through if I had an overcard like an A? I blocked AA. If she had a J she would cbet 100% of the time. So I pushed out my call before I could really think about it.

Any thoughts are welcome.
