Did I fold to Early or too Late?

[pokerbo]

In this hand I'm in the CO with AJs against an early raise and a limp. I find AJ one of the harderst hands to play, perhaps I should not be calling early raises with this hand. On the flop I fold to a bet was this too early to fold, or should I see the turn with 2 over cards ?

I'm tempted to say you should probably be seeing the turn here, but considering I have no idea what happened in this hand I can make no good comments.

Fix the action.

thats wierd the hand history does not show the raise pre flop or on the flop?? does anyone know the convertor would not show this?

[SeaEagle]

I can't tell for sure since your original post isn't correct, but I'm guessing you're getting 10-1 on the flop bet. Given the PF action, those are borderline odds for me, but I'd probably peel.

BTW, folding AJs against an EP raiser isn't a bad move, at least until you get comfortable playing it. Likewise, if the PF raiser checked and the c/cer behind him bet (which is what I think happened here), folding may well be the best choice.

&lt;soapbox&gt;I'm tired of people posting broken posts and blaming the converter. Use the preview functionality and actually read through your post before you submit. If the converter doesn't work and it comes out mangled, then just fix it. Since I play live, every hand that I've posted I've written out by hand and still took the time to format it nicely. Considering that SS already gets like 1000 new posts a day, I think we can all afford the extra 5 minutes to make sure our posts are readable, rather than blaming the converter and posting unformatted or broken hands.
&lt;/soapbox&gt;

(sorry to unleash on you in particular, I'm just tired of people in general acting like they are way to put out to spend more than 30 seconds while posting a hand)

As for the hand, I think its pretty close and read-dependant. If I knew the the raiser was that loose I'd 3-bet PF.

[TheHammer24]

This is a really weak hand IMO. Why do you cold call preflop, and fold when it's one bet to you? I'm at least pealing here, and I'm folding AJs against an UTG.

I think that is the best advice on this hand.
