Re: Curtains: AJo in CO, L3
[ QUOTE ]
MP1 isn't limping for set value unless he's a total donk, so that narrows it down to broadway looking to pair a flop or slowplaying a high pair, which also seems kind of donkish. Without a read, I'd put him on high cards, something like KQ/KJ. I think AJ is ahead here and I'd probably raise to isolate. On the flop I don't think this is tricky at all--I'd lay this down pretty quickly to any action.
Curious what everybody else's opinions will be...

That's pretty much the point of me posting this hand. Is it strong enough against an unknown opponent to raise to isolate? If not, then you're stuck playing in an unraised 4 handed pot. But what if the shortish limper did so with AQ / AK? (Not conventional, but some people do this.) Flop comes ace high and you get check raised. Because of his stack, you'd have to call his push after you bet. But his stack is still big enough to hurt you badly.
Just some things that run through my mind...
