OK so playing a .50-1 cash game and i get delt Ak in the hijack(button -1) there is a raise to 4 preflop to i just smoothcall and so do 3 others (4 to the flop)

The 2 guy to my right have a small convo and the raiser says i wish i had made it more to go ( to eliminate more players) the other guy goes yeah me too....so just a lil info on strength of hands

So the FLOP come down A 3 8 rainbow
Original raiser checks and the guy he was taling to leads out for 12...i smooth call putting him on AQ AJ or A10suited....i don't put him on a set b/c of his saying he wanted a bigger raise preflop

The other 2 players fold and the original raiser accidentally flips over a J

So in my mind it pushes AJ farthur off my radar

TURN falls J...guy bets 16...i again smoothcall
River falls 2 and hes bets 25...i smoothcall

He turns over AJ...so my smoothcalls were the right play...hard to put a guy on AJ after the j is expossed

The only way to get him off this hand is a massive raise on the flop...besides that hes not going anywhere.
