10/20 AJ blind defense
The villain in this hand is 28/22/1.5 his attempt to steal blinds is around 47 after 170 hands.
The 3 players (one just left) to my right are tags with high attempt to steal blinds numbers ( I am at the table for the 2 players on my left). I think my Image is solid but on the weak tight side since I haven’t been picking up much to defend with. Party Poker 10.00/20.00 Hold'em <font color="#0000FF">(5 handed)</font> link Preflop: Hero is BB with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises</font>, <font color="#666666">1 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, Button calls.

I plan on check folding to a river bet unimproved. |

Re: 10/20 AJ blind defense
I think I would let this one go here. His aggression is not all that high making a Q quite likely. I would want to be more certain the J is good since your only getting 7.25:1

Re: 10/20 AJ blind defense
wow, being OOP with no hand sucks, huh.
PF and Flop are good. Turn, I like the bet but not the call. You're going to have to win this pot with AJ U/I sometimes in order to make this call since you're getting 7:1 on the call and you have at most 6 outs. You don't really have any hidden outs except against 22. |

Re: 10/20 AJ blind defense
Thanks for the response. I called the turn raise planning on winning unimproved enough to make it profitable.
I have been experimenting with calling turn raises with marginal hands and folding to river bets as I feel the free showdown raise is one of the most overused and misapplied plays at these tables. So I put weaker aces into his range here and made the call. Plus Guys that steal with 47% of there hands take shots at you with air every now and then. That being said I don’t hate my play but I agree a fold is probably best. |

Re: 10/20 AJ blind defense
Just fold the turn, and then find a new table.
