I think you are right to some degree rppoker. This is what my preflop open range looks like from MP: AA-66,AKo-AJo,KQo,AKs-A2s,KQs-K9s,QJs-Q9s,JTs-J9s,T9s-T8s,98s,87s,76s.

As you can see, AJ is the weakest off suit ace I usually play from this position. It’s literally on the cusp, I think I just got carried away. I am working on remembering my ranges without having to look at my charts and when I played this hand I don’t think it’s a huge mistake but it’s definitely something I will have to work harder at. 

I think it’s all a matter of preference here, and how well we can play post flop. Let’s say I had AJo or even AQo. I don’t know that I would be willing to call a river bet. With AJo I think I might just fold on the turn, and with AQo I think maybe I would call the raise and then fold on the river to any further aggression.

ATo can definitely get you in trouble postflop. I think that’s great if you wouldn’t play it in this spot, it’s probably better not to when you’re just starting out because like you said, it can get us into trouble postflop. **Also, I am glad you pointed out the early stages part, something(admittedly) I overlooked, there’s no antes yet. This is something I need to work harder at. Thank you for pointing that out rppoker.

As for sizing, I am working out the kinks to something new, where I am betting smaller. I think I need to adjust my sizing a little bigger though. Maybe 33% on the flop, maybe a little bigger like 45-50% on the turn. What do you think would be a better size for both streets?
