AJo in SB -- Party 1/2

[MasterShakes]

This was probably the most interesting hand I played tonight.

CO is a LAG and at times, maniacal. He could bet or raise anything at any time, so I have no respect for him. I have no real read on anybody else, but bdk3clash was the button on this hand (inconsequential). I suspect that MP1 may have either an underpair like TT or 88 or may be betting his AK on the flop. The check on the turn confirmed this, so I raised the CO.

I fold (or raise) preflop to an MP raise. This may be up for debate, but I don't feel comfortable cold calling in SB with it.

I like the turn raise and river bet (with your read on CO). After MP1 checks and calls 2 on the turn I'm pretty sure he has AK, AT, TT. CO could have any 2, and you can beat that.

Fold preflop. AJo out of position to a rasie sucks.
