Open-raise AJo in MP

[ddubois]

Going back through some AJo hands, still trynig to decide when/where to raise pre-flop. If had any reads at the time, I don't recall them now.

I play it the same most of the time...
What was your read on the button, what range of hands do you think he had?

I check this flop and call one bet.

Check-calling the turn and betting the river might be better if you can fold to a river raise. I think he will bet most hands he raised the flop with anyway.

Not raising pf here would be a crime. The rest, sure. Though it's a lot easier with a read on the button.
