A Basic Preflop Question? AJo OTB

[droolie]

With his range and the fact the he's surely trying to take advantage of 3 TAG's behind him when he's 1st in, his range probably includes a bunch of hands we would surely love to smack down. Any A, any two broadway, any pocket pair seem like reasonable holdings.

The fact that he overplays his hands means our implied odds are quite good in this situation if we spike a A or J. He'll lead into us with any pocket pair all three streets and we'll have him dominated a good % of the time.

AJ is about as low as I wanna go with this line of thought though as our equity edge is marginal here and becomes a deficit as we get weaker A's.
