It's better to spend 7 on a raise here, than 25 calling down his AK.

First in, yes raise almost every time.

Easily
AT too. A9 maybe.

I'm sorry, I meant preflop.

AJ is always tough for me to play, but in a 6-handed ring game, I think a raise to about $4.00 might be just right. By his minimum raise, I do not think that he had Ak or AQ. I put him on either 2 pair, or trips.

Did you have any information on the villian. He might also have QQ or KK and just refuses to let them go. Tough play but these players are so wild in these PP ring games, that I think a push is not the worse play.

Push after the flop that is....

I meant preflop. I'm inclined to just call a raise out of position with AJ though. (SB or BB). But first in, RAISE IT UP!

You realize you can edit your post instead of creating a new one....

Also new to the table so no reads.
