Party Poker 0.50/1 (10 handed)
Hero has A/images/graemlins/club.gif, J/images/graemlins/heart.gif and is MP2
Passive Table - Me and another 2+2er are the only one raising. Beyond that - standard.

UTG limps, EP1 limps, EP2 limps, MP1 limps, Hero raises, CO calls, Button folds, SB folds, BB calls, UTG calls, EP1 calls, EP2 calls, MP1 calls

Flop(14 SB): 7/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, A/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 6/images/graemlins/diamond.gif

BB checks, UTG checks, EP1 bets, EP2 folds, MP1 calls, Hero raises, CO calls, BB calls, UTG folds, EP1 calls, MP1 calls

Turn(20 BB): 8/images/graemlins/diamond.gif

BB checks, EP1 checks, MP1 checks, Hero bets, CO calls, BB calls, EP1 calls, MP1 calls

River(24 BB): 2/images/graemlins/heart.gif

BB checks, EP1 checks, MP1 checks, Hero bets, CO folds, BB calls, EP1 calls, MP1 folds

The flush/straight draw scared me, rightfully, but I bet with the intention of folding to a re-raise. Of course, no re-raise came, and my figuring was that as long as no diamond came I had a good shot at the pot. With those pot odds, I almost had to call.

Results Later

Thanks!

BB shows A /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 8 /images/graemlins/club.gif for the turned 2 pair and win.

I don't usually raise AJo after 4 limpers.

Other than that I think you played it fine.

Looks fairly routine.

I see more and more people saying not to raise AJo, but I'm still generally raise.

with the villain on the BB, raise or not, you're unlikely to get him out of the pot. And with high pair and a kicker relevant to the board, he's not going anywhere.
