A beginner with AJ
This is my first post to this forum. I'm a complete beginner and have begun
trying to learn something about poker. I've been reading SSHE and this forum and trying to figure out what's going on....but definitely feel lost out there. This hand occured last night......Did I play it right? Thanks for any comments, Jim Pacific Poker (.25/.5): Hero is CO with [A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]] Preflop: Folds to MP1 who calls, Hero raises, BB 3-bets, MP1 folds, Hero calls. Flop: [ 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]] BB bets, Hero raises, BB 3-bets, Hero calls. Turn:[T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]] BB bets, Hero calls River:[7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]] BB bets, Hero calls |

Re: A beginner with AJ
Looks g00t. Did you get shown a big PP?

Re: A beginner with AJ
You could make a case for capping the flop, but it seems pretty likely you are beat in this situation, unless the player is the type who likes to pump a draw, just slow down, which you did.
I like it. |

Re: A beginner with AJ
Why do you want to call down? I think you should definitely fold that turn.

With no flush and no straight on the board, so the only hand you have no outs against is a set? Without some sort of read that Villan would ONLY play a set like this, I think that's weaksauce. |

If we only put him on an overpair, what are our odds? If he has AA, when we hit two pair, he hits a set and he 3-bets us.

Re: A beginner with AJ
With no reads, this looks exactly like I would play it.
Albeit, by the river I would be calling out of pure stubborness. |

First thing I would do is drop down in the limits to a boss media site (sportingbet.com, sportingodds.com, casino.net) and pick up some easy bonuses as to not drain your bankroll. I only say that because you say you feel lost.
Preflop-looks good Flop-im not raising this, just bet turn-fine river-fine |
