    Any reads? Looks like MP has a naked ace and the BB probably the same. 4-bet the flop to 800 and call a push. As played I think you have to check/shove turn.

    Mp was weak/passive player, the bb no reads. I didn't put him on an AJ, or any hand with A, I figured he would have raised out of the bb. I just couldn't figure out his hand here.

    id put in another raise on the flop me thinks, either that or push turn after the bet/call. idk, you might have made a good laydown though, folding is one of the worst parts of my game.

    re raise flop to 700ish, if they both call then I could see getting away from it, especially when the K comes off since we're hoping one has KJ or a draw. And you would think if they both have an ace one one fold it on the flop to that action.

    If someone shoves over flop I probably make them show me 444/A4.

    It's the first level. I will often just push after he minraises the flop. You're only losing to AJ and A4 and you're beating a lot more than that.
