Did you ever ask yourself, "What exactly is he calling my re-raise with here?"

I don't mind the re-raise on the flop but definitely excercise pot control and check behind on the turn and call a push on the river.

Um, I think you missed a bit. Part of the problem with this hand (besides playing it [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]) was that fact that I didn't reraise preflop.

I meant reraising him on the flop.

Reraising him preflop is the worst idea ever.

Interesting... What would a call, on your reraise, tell you?

From a good player that is a sign you are way behind and its time to muck

A Call and I put him on a middle pocket pair (say TT-77), Axs, AKo, AQany. A raise and I put him on AA-QQ, AKs. Remember, this is a $20+2 SnG.

This is of course pre-post. I don't think I'll hop another raise w/ AJo in the early stages of a tourney again.

As the SnG played out, this guy proved to be very LAG and his folding the 1st 7 hands was a fluke.

Let me get this straight everyone in here is really advocating folding AJ when the action has been passed to you on the button. Gee I hate playing the best hand at the table with position. Folding here is absolutly awful. Learn to play on the flop.

Think you stumbled into the wrong forum. Play money strategy is that way. ---->

I think he was responding to Karak's statement that if it were folded to his AJ on the button he "might raise or might fold." You really think it's treating your chips like play money to take on the blinds only, with position, with AJ? Goodness gracious, that's tight. I hope you have other things to keep you occupied while you are "playing poker."
