ATo on the button.

[BigEndian]

That 2+2 hand reminded me of this hand I had intended to post:

Schitzo table. Sometimes tight aggressive, sometimes loose passive. The only true dolt is sitting to my immediate right and didn't play this hand. A UTG limp could be a middle pair, a suited Ace or a big Ace but almost never complete junk.

BigEndian has A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and is Button

UTG limps, MP2 limps, BigEndian limps, SB folds, BB checks

Arguably, I should raise here. But I have a hard time popping it with merely ATo and a UTG limper.

Flop(4 2/5 SB): 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

UTG checks, EP1 checks, MP2 checks, BigEndian checks

I take the free card. Sometimes I will bet here. Betting here as a default play is misguided I think and too aggressive.

UTG checks, EP1 bets, MP2 folds, BigEndian raises, UTG folds, EP1 calls

The flush card didn't come on the turn and I make it 2 to go with 5 1/5 in the pot. Most flush draws are still going to come along, though they're now paying me money. I didn't get re-raised and presume my hand is good.

River(6 1/5 BB): T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

EP1 checks, BigEndian bets, EP1 calls

Routine.


Thoughts?

After the hand, seeing what my opponent had made me think about this more. If you knew your opponent held AJ, ignoring the PF limp, how would this effect you play on the flop, turn and river?
