AJs on Button - 30/60
Thoughts about this beauty? Not sure if I played it reponsibly or just plain scared.
As far as I can tell, UTG+1 is a solid player in most every respect. I have seen him quite a bit in this game, and never out of line. CO is an 11% VpIp 2.5% PFR type. I can usually tell when he has something on the flop. When this hand came along, I hadn't played a hand in about three orbits. Depending upon the opponents, I will probably fold this hand 30% of the time, call 40%, and raise the other 30%. The truth is that I don't know the best play pre-flop.

Re: AJs on Button - 30/60
I'm with you on being uncertain in this spot. It's unclear to me what he has. Do you think he would he c/r you with a weaker hand if you bet?
Call me crazy, but I like betting the turn here. |

I normally play smaller stakes, but what about folding PF?

Re: AJs on Button - 30/60
Yobz;
I guess I didn't say it too well up top....I think that folding AJs under these circumstances is a good play. I think I said that I fold this hand 30% of the time. In reality, if there is a raise and a call, I probably fold this hand more like 50 - 60% of the time here. Occasionally, however, I will play it and considering my tight image at the time, I felt like a raise was the only way to go. For the record, though, I learned a long time ago that AJ and AJs are serious trouble hands against early position raises. Folding is a good play, as this can can get you in a lot of tough spots, as you can see. Just because I know the correct play doesn't mean that I will make it every single time. Unfortunately. |

[/ QUOTE ] That's certainly an odd line the villian took, checkraise the flop and then check twice. I'm inclined to bet the river. Perhaps he was overplaying a small PP and hoped to get you to laydown the flop? 77, 99? |

Re: AJs on Button - 30/60
You should fold this preflop if UTG is a solid player.
