Default Re: AJo, I hate it when this happens...

It's the easiest flop fold ever.

You're getting 8.5 to 1 and you need 7 to 1 to call assuming all your outs are clean, but a ROCK is betting into you and you may have to give yourself only 4 outs. Making this flop call is worse than calling with a gutshot, because when you hit a gutshot it will be a stronger made hand than your TPTK and less vulnerable to redraws.

True, you may have enough implied odds to call in the gutshot scenario, but just barely with a rock.
