Raise turn, not close. $900? Shove river.

I hate AJ against a raise. I would lean towards folding preflop. It's an impossible hand against a raise OOP.

I would raise the turn though, or at least the river.

I think check raising is worse than folding on the flop.

[tiger_style]

best options in this hand:

fold preflop
fold flop OR lead and fold to a raise
raise turn
all in river

basic as 1+1=2

[Prevaricator]

I don't like any of the preflop play in this hand.

I think check raising is worse than folding on the flop.

so what? you suggest waiting for him to bet you off the hand or cross your fingers and hope that a-j is good. you know kk,qq is liable to fire twice right.

folding a-j suited to a mini-raise is weak.

Hi padirk,

Here's my line: Call pre-flop every time, getting over 3 to 1. Check-raise the drawless flop to 500, and begone if he reraises or calls and you don't improve. It's cheaper than check-call, check-call, check-fold (when you don't spike a Jack). Check-raise to 1000 when you make top 2, and call any size reraise. Put the rest of your chips in on the river, if you have any. You may consider check-calling if an Ace or Q falls on the river, since he may check behind you with bigger Aces up, fearing a set (he'll never fold that, obviously).
