Passive line with AJo, top pair...

[ElSapo]

Sorry if this is routine, but I felt like an idiot. Maybe it's right, however.

I open raise AJo in EP. Three-bet, only I call.

Flop is AK2. Check-call.
Turn K, check-call.
River 7, check-call.

The table was loose, but raises were generally pretty strong hands...

I think this is a fine way to play it, but betting the river isn't wrong, either.

You can fold the river if he is straightforwardish.

If you think he will call QQ/JJ, then bet the river, else check-call.
AA,KK,AK are 7 hands, QQ/JJ are 9, so you aren´t laying down unless you know the guy well.

its fine the way you played it.

[ElSapo]

Thanks. He showed AA so...

is this a joke?

No.

Why would you fold the river? What was the point of getting to the river if you planned to fold when a blank fell?

Because you might have the best hand where has has QQ/JJ but most players won't fire another barrel on the river with this hand.

This is why I prefer bet-folding the river.

I think betting and folding to a raise is fine, but check-folding seems really wrong.
