Actually ...

It wasn't a "total" bluff. My Jack's could still be good....

Raise it preflop. You want shorthanded pots with offsuit high cards.

Looks to me like he's got an overpair but was afraid you hit a flush.

Preflop limp with AJ after two folds is bad. Raise it.

On the river, if the forth flush card hits and you're heads up and first to act, you should bet every time. (I think that's Clarkmeister's rule btw.)

Thanks guys.

Just wondering.... SSH recommends simply limping with A,Jo from EP.

But specifically for UTG+2, do you guys tend to raise, if first in the pot?

What about UTG and UTG+1??
