Question: Did I play wrong? Should I lay down on the turn? River?

What is your opps position? You should lay down pre-flop. You are dominated or are a coin-flip by any hand that would normally raise here. Don't call OOP raises with AJ or AQos unless you know your opp is a loose aggressive player who will raise weaker hands with limpers ahead.

How many players in the hand? Any limpers in before you? I'm wondering why you didn't bring AJ in for a raise instead of limping? Once you limped though, I think you have to fold to a raise.

Anyway, I don't think I could get away from top two pair unless the board contains an obvious straight or flushes. Without a read I'm going to get broke against a set.

I don't bring it for a raise because it's 10ppl, I'm in EP. I call the $2 raise because there's so much multi-way action and a raise like that could mean AJ, KQ, KJ, AK, 88-AA, AQ. If I hit an A I'm a good enough player to get away unharmed. If I hit 2 pair though...

Stacks are about $100 everyone

Although I am the forum expert on two pair type hands, you probably don't have to address your threads to me specifically. Often others will have something of substance to add.

I don't mind limping with Ace-Jack like you did. I limp my pp's and need to add a few hands to limp to throw off any of the smart players at the table. I would probably (stubbornly) call the PFR also. I think you played the hand very well getting to showdown and losing less than many players would have lost.

folding pre-flop first of all.

Now you are in this [censored] let see.

you have bet 10$ on flop and your vilain call.
humm
no flush, no straight for sure !

how about on turn betting 2/3(arround 23) of the pot if he reraise, you can fold, he evantually prob beat 2 pair.
Ask you how a 3 of club may have improve his hand ?.


with a Q on the river i check and fold on a bet !



i have lead the pot with a good betting all the way long if he bet and dont care about my reraise on the river i think im dead!
