Fixing my AJo leak for a while
 

Hey everyone... trying to fix my game cause I'm sick of losing. AJo is definitely a losing hand for me. Here's a hand I had difficulty with:

Party Poker 1.00/2.00 Hold'em <font color="#0000FF">(10 handed)</font> link

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
UTG calls, <font color="#666666">1 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, BB calls, UTG calls.

Flop: (6.50 SB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
BB checks, UTG checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG 3-bets</font>, Hero calls, BB calls.

Turn: (7.75 BB) K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets</font>, Hero calls, BB folds.

River: (9.75 BB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">UTG bets</font>, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 11.75 BB.

UTG is a fish 37.5 VP$IP, 4.48 PF RAISE %, 0.61 AF
BB is sLA-P 20.55 VP$IP, 6.51 PF RAISE %, 0.72 AF

Bad to raise AJo from EP? Am I calling 2 bets back to me after the flop or am I ditching it at that point? Two players have told me they have strong hands. When the Q and the K hit the turn and river, I figured whatever hand the fish has, he made it on the flop. I was basically praying for J3 from him. Bad assumption?

you can probably fold the flop to UTG's check 3-bet.

Depends on the table, but at 1/2 I will many times raise from here. Once the flop gets 3-bet from an AF that low and it's two back to me, I'll fold top pair. People with low AF's really do know when they have a good hand--and they tell you.

Edit:missed the c/r--definite fold

Exactly what I was going to say.

Fold the flop

I open-raise AJo from any position, and almost always isolate 1player

I'm not sure what he turned over but i'm pretty sure it was ducks or snowmen

fish hooks, ladies, or cowboys, too. but really, please, dont ever say snowmen again

Re: Fixing my AJo leak for a while
 

I have no idea what snowmen means... I guess it's two eights.

For the OP. I fold the flop after the check/3-bet.
