Good call on the hand converter. Raising with AJo in a 9-handed game preflop in early position is no good IMO, so it seems I should have laid it down. Though from what I've read about limit holdem cash games (a lot), this is often a limping hand. The idea is that against weak opponents, if there's no raise preflop, and the flop comes A or J high, my hand is almost certainly good, which was exactly the case here. A problem with raising is that if you get called and the flop comes A high, you don't know where you stand, and you're out of position. Care to elaborate further on why you prefer raising/folding versus limping?

So I take it you check/fold the turn, or do you push?
