Re: AJs flop action?
I don't see why anybody would want to raise here. Sure, we may have the best hand, and if not, we have a good draw and a lot of equity, but lets consider what happens when you raise here.
a)You raise pot: Everybody folds.
You probably had the best hand, and pushed people off of their 2/3 outers. One of them probably had a flush draw.
b)You raise pot. One guy folds, the other guy pushes
You are pot committed, and are, at best, a 4:5 dog (v AK no spade), and much more likely to be a 3:7 dog (v a set).
c) You raise pot. Both players call.
This, of course, is a great outcome. You may get a free card, you're getting good money on your draw, you take control of the hand, you disguise your draw.... but you're pretty damn unlikely to have the best hand, unless you're playing against monkeys.
The guy is betting weakly into you, and he's probably doesn't have much of a hand. Let him keep betting it for you.
