Bet 0,15 or more after the flop. I would bet 0,20 - 0,35.
Make bets that are respectable, at least half the pot. By betting like you did, you are giving them good odds with drawing hands. Good fold at the end though. |

The thing about AJ is that your kicker sucks and it can be a real trap hand if you're not careful. PFR is fine, I'd raise it more on the flop (maybe .15-.25) and take it from there. When button coldcalls the flop raise and the BB comes along too I'm definitely not in love with my hand anymore.

AJs are not such a good hand, but considering there are only five players at the table, your raise are ok. You should bet more preflop too, though. At least 4 x BB.
EDIT: changed flop to preflop |

Re: Still Shaking about this hand..... Help needed
First, buyin to the max ($2). Preflop is fine, but on the flop you need to reraise more if you gonna raise, make it atleast $0.20. The hand will play differently then. Also, bet more on the turn and river.
As for how it was played, you have any reads on BB? It doesn't seem like a ten since he bet the flop, unless he had a pair on the flop with a ten kicker. But I'll probably fold the river, might be a flopped set too that was slowplaying. But since it's NL$2 people do random things. It's hard without reads. |

Was this a quality laydown? [/ QUOTE ] Meh...I think you made the proper play (eventually [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] ), but you lost too much money. If you make a larger raise on the flop and they still both call I think you can be done with the hand at that point and have a clear conscience. As played you lost $0.33, if make a bigger raise on the flop (lets say 0.20) and then check/fold you only lose $0.27 (even if you raise it to a quarter on the flop you still lose less $0.32 vs. $0.33)...saving those little bets adds up over time, and more importantly making the proper raises helps to put you in a position to win more pots.

Was this a quality laydown? [/ QUOTE ] I think you'll see the phrase "good players aren't made by quality laydowns" around here a good bit. (Tho this is more true in limit than in NL.) Quality betting > quality folding -- this is the reason why everyone has been commenting on your raise amounts. |
