What can we learn? Maybe don’t play AJ from early positions? Raise more than double the blinds preflop if you are going to enter a pot?
2nd hand
Dead easy...... stop limping in to pots!! Playing rag aces like that will only get you into trouble especially when you get a bit of the flop.
there are hands I will limp in with, ie small pocket pairs or suited connectors. these types of hans are easy to get away from if you miss the flop or are a raised.

Yes have to agree there....Im not a lover of AJ either but nearing the final table i thought its a hand worth playing...
But i thought the same with regard to the bet....I should have come in bigger
The main thing was i didnt really need to get involved with these hands as i could have made the FT fairly easily but the top 4 were getting away a bit so wanted to get a few chips...
Yes poor play by me..
