also, since i DO raise AJs here i would like to see if he folds, which i want him to, and which he did.

Even if he has TT?

Re: Not capping w/ JJ...dunno why but...
 

The only hands you want to fold that you have beat here is AK or a flush draw (maybe JTs but that hand is unlikely given your JJ) and I doubt if either folds for a single raise on the flop too often. Would you raise the flop in this situation if you had a Q or even a full house? Do you think he would likely put you on AA or KK? Doubtful but possible.

Really? He may well be drawing dead, and has some nasty reverse implied odds along with his 6 outs. I'd say AK folds to a raise here plenty..

What line would you take as Villian with AK here?
Also, re-reading my post, I overstated the liklihood. I'm just thinking it's possible, and those are some reasons he might.

Re: Not capping w/ JJ...dunno why but...
 

I may be in the minority here, but this post was a little surprising:

I can't imagine why you would want to cap it with jacks preflop. Is he on average rasing with such a weak hand that you want to tie him to the hand until the river? If so, he is probably so overaggressive I'd rather trap him anyway.

I also don't see what raising does for you on this flop. If I felt I could raise, I would wait for the turn to drop his AK. Raising the flop should announce a) you don't have a queen and b) you have a middle pocket pair to most players, which is bad because it's exactly what you have.

I don't think many players would put a flop raiser as someone they're drawing dead against. Why not wait for the turn to raise with a Q? I think a raise on the turn is a better play but I might be tempted to call again on the turn and let someone who's betting a marginal hand keep coming. I don't think the villan in this example had much of a hand and I'd guess that his folding was not a mistake.
