I would be inbterested to see whoelse would also make the call here, when I flop my top and bottom pair I am pretty sure I am gettingf paid cos these guys have been involved in a lot of pots. When I get his Push I call instantly but should i have played it in a different way?

I would re raise or fold - why do you want to play AJ out of position and against 3 oppo's?

Well the 2 guys involved had been in a lot of pots, When i saw a semi premium hand, i decide to see the flop hoping to gather chips from the ensuing cockwaver.

To give you an idea, Inane doubled up by calling an all in with  Jh Th  a few hands earlier, and he had been in most pots up to this point and had been seeing the river no matter what pair he had, he had donked a lot of chips and got lucky a fair bit, hence my reason for playing the  Ad  Js

No prob with you playing the AJ, but re-raising it helps define where you stand. (if someone has, AA, QQ you quickly know about it)

It's more important to this when you are out of position IMHO.

well i like the way you played it..

you pretty much have to call here, i dont agree with the above post why would you re-raise with AJ on a loose table in full knoledge you will get called and not haveing a clue where you are? your creating a monstor pot with a marginal hand the big no-no in tourneyment play,

i dont really have a problem with the way you played it though i would of done the same maybe bet less than you did on the flop to make it look like an information bet and see what happend, when he re-raises i have to look at a few things can i survive if i pass this hand? is this player likely to be in here with ak/q and play like this ?,  could he play k10 like this or could he play 10c9c like this ?  if i can put him on a certin hand its a insta call,  if i carnt i have to think but prob call as its pretty early doors and you need hands like this to win the comp, 

i would think there are maybe 3 hands he has here,  JQ or K10 maybe a flushdraw,
