AJo and 98s: Two turn check behinds vs. LAGs

[Nick C]

I was at some tables that seemed very aggressive to me this past weekend, and at times I was taking an approach versus the BB that was unusual for me.

I thought I'd check the line here, before I get carried away. (Since the situations in the hands are not the same, though, it's possible the line I took is good in one hand but not the other. Or maybe they're both just bad [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img].)

Villain in this hand is 39/19/2.1 after 150 hands:
