If you want to end the hand preflop you need to raise it more than $2.75 more.

Actually, I want to end it by folding if he re-raises and I want him to just call if he has a hand < AA-KK. If an A or K falls on the flop, I am usually ahead. I think villian grossley misplayed his hand and wouldn't have had the opporunity if I hadn't offered a lot of chances for him to make mistakes.

Don't 3 bet AK unless guy is a LAG/maniac, and if you do make a real raise PF. Not getting away from that hand on the flop.

Some players will smooth call your 3bet. Why not end it when you miss on the flop, instead of folding before you get a cheap chance to outflop JJ-KK and any other random [censored] he has?

He called a PSB, he isn't scared of your ace. I think he either stacked you with his FH or you split with trip aces K kicker.

Also, by 3betting preflop, you are probably committing your stack if you hit with TPTK. Not necessarily a good thing.

Why? I want to end the hand right there. have you ever played AK OOP? It sucks when the flop looks like that.

You aren't just playing it OOP, you're building a pot OOP! Now you got your stack in without any helpful information at all.

Your raise UTG with AJo is silly. Fold that hand. Then you check raise the flop. Why, to fold out worse hands, but guarantee getting stacked by a set? Just lead out for 3/4 of the pot.

[Andrew Fletcher]

You're silly!

Do you believe in monsters under the bed? If you're playing AJ UTG that weakly, then you are missing a lot of value in 25NL.

No, he's really not. And try not to criticize people who are trying to help your play too much.

What data do you have to back this up? Give me pokertracker positional statistics for yourself, comparing the EV of folding versus raising AJ in early position. Better yet, do it for 100 players with more than 10k hands in your database.

Please stop posting such incorrect and baseless advice like it is a fundamental truth. You are making a fool of yourself by doing this.
