Default Re: A beginner with AJ

Hi guys,

Thanks for the comments. This was my first attempt at a blind steal
I guess. The villian had QQ. I had been playing .05/.10 at Pacific
and had been winning more than losing so I thought I would try the
next level up. I was sort of thinking that he must have something like
Jx or something and was going ballistic on the blind defense.........

After the 3-bet on the flop, I thought....uh oh....not again......what do I
do now? So I just went into calling station mode hoping that I would spike
an ace or jack.....I didn't even count outs.....in a situation like this, should
I have done?

Anyway, thanks a lot. I'm learning a lot from reading your posts......I just
need to learn how to apply them.

jim

Stars and (I think?) Paradise have .10/.20, which softens the transition from .05/.10

I think the play looked good.

While this post is awesome, careful about plagiarizing the one and only Commodus.

Hi borges,

I would have just called the flop, let him bet the turn, called the turn, let him bet the river, and raised him there if you still have a fairly strong hand (ie. not if the turn and river came K-Q). If he checks at any point, bet it yourself. If he check-raises you on the turn, fold because he has an overpair or flopped a set. The reason you can raise the river is because you need not be behind, and because if you raise the river and you are behind, it will not cost you much (he will have trouble 3-betting you on the river with just an overpair, but may 3-bet you on the turn if you try it there).

If his 3-bet preflop set off alarm bells in your head, do not ignore the bells! But don't let him muscle you off the hand either.

Anyhow, if you understand what I'm talking about, you see how much you have to think ahead in a hand? This is what the better players are doing.
