Default Re: 20-40 AJs monster draw.

Haven't read any of the other posts yet, but I am wondering why the call pre-flop? Assuming you play well enough to get away from the hand if you miss it on the flop would not raising be a somewhat better play? If the BB calls the hand plays well multi-way. I think the pre-flop call, check-raise flop puts you in the position of having to make the straight to get paid as ABC will not pay off the nut flush. Ace high is not going to win this and I would discount hitting your ace as an out. ABC 1 & 2 both have something they like and are going to the river. I think you have backed yourself into the corner of having to make your hand to win so in your position I check call the turn to get to the river as cheaply as possible.
