10/20 General discussion on unimproved AJ
One player limps from EP, I raise from MP with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and everyone folds to the limper who calls....
Flop comes: 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] And the opponent bets into me.... How often is he on a draw? How often does he have a pair? Should I raise him for a freecard? Should I raise him and bet the rest of the hand? Should I just call him and fold turn if unimproved? How do YOU act in these situations? |

what's your read on the villian, this read dictates my action in a (common) situation like this. there is no default play.

Re: 10/20 General discussion on unimproved AJ
It's a tough spot and I probably don't do the same thing twice in a row and nothing a majority of the time. In general, I believe you are drawing better than 75% of the time.
Btw, not being patronizing but your English is awesome. Better than a lot of native speakers (which is just begging someone to comb my post for grammatical errors). - Jim |

What's important in spots like this is trying to have some kind of plan for the turn if you continue on the flop, whatever your action is. |

Re: 10/20 General discussion on unimproved AJ
This kind of hand shows up ever so often. That's why I was hoping for general advice. But I realize that this situation (like so many other Holdem situations) must me treated differently from time to time. All depending on your opponent, your read on him/her or stats on him/her. But if SA125 is right I'm quite satisfied. I always decide on the flop what this particular opponent might have and then make up my mind for future betting rounds. I'll often go for flopraise/freecard or flopraise/turnbet. Against more passive players (I think these players more often have a pair) I often choose a flopcall/turnfold or turnraise depending on what card shows up on the turn.

But remember, my native language is Swedish. I try to write as proper English as possible, but errors of all kinds will definitely show up in the future! By the way, 'thanks' is 'tack' in Swedish. Tack! |

Re: 10/20 General discussion on unimproved AJ
If you didn't know anything about you opponent and were only going to play this 1 hand against him you should probably fold. You aren't a favorite vs. a flush draw, unless you have him dominated.

Re: 10/20 General discussion on unimproved AJ
my default is to call and fold the turn UI, but that strategy could probably be taken advantage of.
EDIT: against certain players it's "see you at showdown" |

Re: 10/20 General discussion on unimproved AJ
I've been thinking a lot about this subject over the night. I guess if you're not able to recognize when your overcards are safe it's probably best to fold...
