Cause he is likely to be raising with a far worse hand, that might be dominated. A) He might fold, which is fine. B) I donīt want to play this multiway.

probably not far worse hands. i think you need to bet either the turn or the river...whichever is most in character for you. the turn would be good, since he might think 'AK'.

Something I think you should think about is really WHY you want to isolate with AJ. Or even why you'd want to represent AA or KK against him. You didn't raise enough for the LAG, whom is probably raising with suited or conneted cards or both, to fold PF. Usually a LAG's goal in a cash game is to break big hands like AA or KK.

And what kind of pots are you going to put your money in with if you have A-J? If the flop really hits your hand, do you think that he is really going to pay you off? Say if two aces hit, two jacks, or A-J-2? Not getting paid. If the flop comes A-8-7, what is your plan?

You are raising with a very marginal hand against someone with a wide variety of raising hands.

I just don't like a play like this with A-Jo. Maybe AJs as you can play with draws instead of just pairs.

In general, unless you have a perfect read on this guys betting style, which it doesn't sound like you do post flop, I wouldn't make this play.

Brad
