How to play this AJo hand
 

I am fairly new to Hold'em. Started paying 2 months ago after reading SSH.

Party 1/2 limit long hand.

Hero has <font color="red">AJo</font> in MP2. Villain is in CO.


<font color="blue">Pre-Flop</font> 2 limp, hero raises and CO 3 bets. All fold to Hero who calls. (9.5 SB)

<font color="blue">Flop</font> An Ace and 2 blnks flop. Hero bets, vallain raises and Hero calls (6.75 BB)

<font color="blue">Turn</font> Blank. Hero check calls. (8.75 BB)

<font color="blue">River</font> Blank. Hero check calls.


Did I play this hand correctly? Should I have folded on the flop raise or on the turn or river?

Thank you for your help.

Any reads on villan? Lead out the turn . I see you ahead most of the time vs. an unknown.

You can play this hand WA/WB. So check/call flop, check/call turn, bet/fold river

I would 3 bet the flop. If he caps, then I'd call and check/fold an unimproved turn.

If he calls the 3 bet on the flop, then bet the turn, and fold if he raises. Otherwise check/call the river

This looks like the perfect hand for this line. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

No read on the Villain. What does WA/WB stand for?

Way Ahead/Way Behind...do a search.

I agree that this is WA/WB, but I'd alter the line to be a check/call on the river as well. I'd call it bet/fold if we had AK.

I wouldn't raise AJo in a full ring game from MP, LP it's a raise otherwise call. Without reads on the villain, the rest of your play is fine.

Depends on the table, but if this one is as tight as the usual 1/2 online game, you're losing a fair amount by not raising in this situation.

Poster hand for WA/WB.

River is definitely b/f.
