AJo in the CO against a steal raise

JEM7VSBL · #1 12-11-2004, 03:08 PM

i posted this hand earlier in micro and realized that it belonged in SS, hopefully i'll get more responses here...

mp3 has been open raising a lot of hands and plays pretty aggressively. the button is your run of the mill calling station who called a lot of my open raises throughout the session.

i decided to bail out to the three bet on the turn, thinking my two pair was no good (AQ, a set, or even a made straight). would you have called this down? any other thoughts?

Probably should have folded pre flop, putting raiser on A K A Q your demolished and you must have put him on that because you folded to that on the turn. You should not three bet with A J off ever always putting raiser on AK or AQ.

In which situations is it good to three bet with A J off?

If you suspect the cutoff has attempted to steal with a raise, rereraise to isolate and because you have the best hand.

In this hand MP3 checked three bet, I would fold here also. Sometimes a player does have a hand.

I think you played this hand fine.

If you suspect a player of raising "light", in other words attempting to make a move on the blinds, a player should three bet with more liberal hands such as AJ off.
