$22 A,J hand

[Olback]

Does anyone like this play?

I was hoping to checkraise on the flop, but he bet so much i figured he was pushing a weak ace or 2nd pair.

It is the last hand of the level.

I have no idea what he has when he pushes unfortunatly.... - about the same top 22,648% of hands that he raises with preflop is my guess...

I think you are ahead enough to call although big stacks often have more luck on turns and rivers.

Hi Oliver,

I think you played that hand fine. I'm certainly not folding here and I think its reasonable to either try to checkraise or bet out 1/2 to 2/3 pot here.

What range of hands do u put him on when he makes that huge overbet? The same kinda hands i put him on?

I'm putting him on an ace, I would surprised to see AK, but I'm expecting to see another ace and hoping his kicker is lower than mine and that he doesn't hit it. However about 10-20% of the time he'll have some really random hands as well.

Normally opponents don't seem to make these massive overbets with a set or 2 pair so I feel very comfortable calling, really only fearing AQ.

BTW, it's probably better if you posted the actual hand results afterwards so that the responses can be more objective.

anyone else have any feedback on this hand?

I think it was fine, and that you should call the flop, as you did.
