AJo in BB
 

This hand just came up in my 20+2 Limit MTT, I know this isnt a tournament forum, but it seems like a fairly common situation...

2nd hand of the tournament, the PFR opened on the first hand as well, peeled the flop and folded the turn...

Forget its a tournament...against unknowns, whats your play?

I call, planning to raise a safe turn card. If MP1 3bets, then I'm done on the turn unless I hit another J.

I check/3-bet. There's no reason to think that you don't have the best hand. You also don't care much what falls on the next street because the flush and straight fears are diminished (3-handed pot, not eleventeen-handed). Hope K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] doesn't fall on the turn.

You mean betting or check-raising?

Re: AJo in BB
 

c/r. If MP1 calls on the flop, I expect him to ck to the flop raiser on the turn, which lets me make a beautiful turn c/r here. Also, I wanna see if MP1 3bets here.

-caveat- if the flop comes back capped, I feel comfortable folding.

Turn?

Re: AJo in BB
 

I would fold preflop in a tournament, but I would probably call in a side game. I would fold the flop as played in a tournament and 3-bet in a side game. I would have just bet the flop in a tournament and check/raised in a ring game. So yeah there are plenty of differences.

On the same token, you can give less respect to PFR's.

Re: AJo in BB
 

call and see action behind. if MP1 caps, it's probably a big PP. reeval on the turn
