This one's a X-post from SS, didn't get a ton of feedback. No reads. PF I like to mix it up and don't always raise, and I don't think it matters much. All streets up for debate I think.

SB is pretty loose w/ average postflop aggression. Only thing I really remember is that he tried to steal a pot with a river bet while playing a straight on the board. BB is a tag. No read on UTG+2.

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].

Re: A couple AJ hands
 

Hand 1 I just see the flop for free. OOP with no idea what the others hold is just not fun for me with AJos.

On the end, after that raise, I will Check/fold. I am guessing you are going to see a house or straight more often than not.

Hand 2 I like every street. Hopefully all he has is a Ten. I would hope 2-pair on the flop would 3-bet you, or bet the turn.

It looked like he was scared and auto-bet the river when you checked-through with the draw on the flop. I'd call a re-raise with TPTK.

Thanks for the feedback -
There's no way I'm check/folding the river in hand #1. If he had a 6 he'd bet the flop almost always on the button, and if he had a 5 he'd likely 3-bet the turn.
In Hand #2 I don't think I can call a 3-bet, which is why I hesitated with the raise, but I figured I was getting enough overlay from UTG+2.

Re: A couple AJ hands
 

Hand 1: I dont raise this pf because its offsuit. Suited would be cool. Too many ppl for the offsuit and OOP. I like the turn raise and I check/call the river. Even though a think an argument could be made for a bet/fold.

Hand 2: I like it. I dont usually do these kinds of raises on the river, but its weak-tight of me. Im sure your good here often enough.

Hand 1 bears a very sexy resemblance to a classic Clarkmeister post. I c/c. nh.

Hand 2 is pretty standard.

I was thinking exactly that at the time. In retrospect though, I don't know if this hand is as good. I can't really think of any potential overcalling hands that would bother me that wouldn't call 2 cold. Maybe it's still worth it given the big pot I created PF, I'm not sure - I don't make that turn play without the PFR.
