Default Play along, 4 handed AJo in SB

UTG has tag stats. low 20 vpip, about 15 pfr %.

Button is a loose passive. 70/15 over a small sample, but clearly loose.

BB is a tag.

Preflop: Hero is SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises</font>, Button calls, Hero calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>.

Easy 3-bet?

I think this one was horribly misplayed.

Preflop - raise. You don't want many opps with AJo.

Flop - draw heavy board, what you doing?

Turn - draw heavy board, what you doing?

River - seriously, he's going to fold to that?

"UTG has tag stats. low 20 vpip, about 15 pfr %."

Fold.

Too good a chance you'll hit and be dominated anyhow. Makes it even more difficult that you're OOP. I don't mind calling with this hand if it's folded around to you in the BB, and if you're going to play it at all out of the SB you must 3-bet to see where you're at in the hand.

But I would fold this pre-flop - wait for better opportunities to push AJo - namely against any of the super-LAGs waiting at 3/6, or any other SH tables at party.

Raise or fold preflop, depending on how your feeling. Being OOP sucks with this hand, it can go either way.

Get some more bets in early.

I'd 3-bet preflop. It's a 4 handed table, so UTG is essentially the CO, and could be raising with a wide range of hands that you have beat. If he caps you when it gets back to him, then you can reconsider. If he just calls, bet the flop and see what happens.

a 20/15 player will open UTG with a wide range of hands, including hands you have destroyed. Why let the BB get 5-1 on his call? 3 bet, isolate, lead the flop, and call down if you face more agression.
