Preflop: Hero is CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Hero posts a blind of $0.5.
UTG calls, 1 fold, UTG+2 calls, 3 folds, Hero (poster) raises, Button calls, SB 3-bets, BB calls, UTG caps, UTG+2 folds, Hero ????

SB seemed solid, and UTG seemed fishy

The old limp-reraise - I used to think this meant AA or KK but lately I've seen it with everything from T2o to Q8d - it's another 1BB to you in a good position, I'd see a flop here.

With a "normal" UTG it's a easy fold. With a fishy UTG I'd see the flop too. /v

2 cold with AJo?

Easy fold IMO

Interesting - two for calling, one for folding.

I thought, calling two cold and even with position, this was an easy fold, and did fold.

I guess I didn't put as much stock into the fishiness of UTG as I should have.

However, doesn't a 3-bet from a "solid" (don't have my pokertracker computer with me now, but let's say 19/8) SB mean I could very well be dominated here?

SB had QQ. UTG K8d. Flop came KJrag, and SB didn't improve, and UTG takes down the pot.

TwoSheds thought it was just one more to call. Cold-calling 2 here is an easy fold.

TwoSheds said it was only one BB to me, which is correct.

I still feel like it's a fold though.

It's two back to you.

You posted, raised, and then it came back capped.

2SB = 1BB. Still a fold.

but SB is still a solid 3-bettor. I HATE AJo against a solid player's 3-bet. The cap, although from a fishy, should give you more reason to fold. I do not advocate folding after a raise for 1 more w/ AJo, but for 2, it's a good decision to me. The only advantage is that you have position on them.
