Snap.

showdown:
With a single opponent and having the nuts on the turn, is jamming on the turn here in the long run going to result in -EV?  Yes the river was a bad card and cost me my tournament, retrospectively, it should have been an easy lay down, but in these spots where I cannot be re-drawn by a flush or a better straight, I would want to keep my player in the hand to extract the most value.

I personally think my play on the turn was OK but bad call on the river with the paired board.

Many thanks to those who have replied though, very insightful!

Swinebag:
the trouble with flatting the turn is that there are too many cards that will come on the river that will kill your action (rather than ones that outdraw you). That is why it is best to get them in on the turn for value

to call AJs pre is ok otb when there 3 others in the pot , but what do we want to hit? personally unless i flop 2pair or better then i"m pretty wary with it for obv reasons.
Early on for implied odds otb here i"d play my suited aces , pairs and suited connectors and the 1 gappers obv , hands with good implied odds and are easy to get away from [eg if i dont flop well and the action gets jiggy then obv]..I"m not against [3bet] re-raising pre here , we have position and they have have as little info on u as u on them , the 2 callers will unlikely have big hands so with whats in the pot plus blinds then a re-raise to around 1500 will probably be pretty profitable..[not a very low variance option but is still a option imo to squeeze atc]
Folding pre is meh but i wouldnt criticise if u did ... as played . pretty much everyone has said 4bet rrai once he 3bets turn.
WTF he was putting u on to repop u there is lol imo and u shoulda punished him for it...River as played - take a deep breath , roll eyes upwards to the heavens and tell the poker gods exactly how u feel :) then fold :)
