I'd raise the river. I think you are ahead a lot of the time here.

I would raise the river, and then call a 3-bet.

Re: confused AJo
 

id fight all my instincts and just call. im afraid someone slowplayed a straight. i think the boat seems less likely.

Everything is fine, except not raising the river. You have at least two of your opponents beat by the river, and your only concern is a full house. You raise SB and call a re-raise.

Re: confused AJo
 

Nice hand, the river call is the right play since you haven't improved as much as it might appear.

My bad, I miss read the hand

Re: confused AJo
 

PF: AJo can be a tricky hand to play especially against this many callers.

FLOP: Good raise, thats how you protect your hand.
TURN: The bottons raise was strange, he might have slow played a set, but given that flop,it might be sketchy. He may also have 8,10s for the flopped straight, but you never now.

River: You have to call, the pot is too big to fold. Also, if you do raise will a weaker hand call you. Maybe the SB read you for an over pair and has trip jacks with a weaker kicker, but the botton behind you might have a straight and will raise if so (unless he is a whimp). And if the botton does not have a straight he might fold with a weaker hand. Calling is best because you don't risk having to put three bets in with a beat hand and you gain a bet from the overcall on the end.

Re: confused AJo
 

this is the most bizarre hand I've seen in a while.

still, i heart a river raise. i'm guessing it'll be 3-bet and you'll be a worse jack.

Re: confused AJo
 

Then why would you raise the river if you are aticipating a 3 bet. Why not go for the over call?

why would we overcall?

call, Button overcalls, we win 2 bets
raise = at least 2 bets when first villain calls, good chance at winning a 3rd if he 3-bets
