I know but I think I had good reads against this opponent, main reason why I decided to call with this hand.

My plan was - bet for value. I was 100% I had best hand than and was calling a shove. So I wondered why didn't he shove at turn but on the river? The only hand that was in his range and his line of play was TT, and I wondered for few seconds do I give him credit for it and than eventually called.

I always raise 3 BB preflop + number of limpers.Well I was guessingon the flop and turn SB should have something like 55-TT. I don't think he is a donk and I think he is capeable of bluffing this high on missed draw, but as I said I don't think he had a draw. I'm 100% certain that he would rerise me with AQ+ JJ+ preflop. I was thinking - in the lines does he think his pocket is good / wants to have fold equity on it. Or does he really have TT and hit on the river. I was pretty sure he wouldn't play suited connectors or A2/A4 OOP.

UTG was 20,5 / 6 / 2.3.

So basicly my line of thinking was correct. Thank you Lucoo_ for pointing out that AA/QQ is less likely, I didn't consider it. The villan probably had the best thing for me in this spot A5 of clubs (of course I was scared when another spade landed on the river), no ace for villan and I won it.

Button was 3beting 8% and folding to 3bet 75%.

Why is check-shove better than leading out?

Thx trystero for your post. Reviewing this hand I know I overvalued AJs at 4 ppl table. And than I just went missplayed and wrong. I wasn't steaming because before that hand we didn't fight for each others money, and I was happy with results on both tables having won money. The hands were posted in time just as they went.And AJs is not in my 4betting/shoveing range unless opponent is an obvious fish.I'll be sure to watch those videos if I can find them.
