I don't like the flop raise or the turn bet.

I'm not a big fan of the preflop 3-bet, either. 24/14 isn't that loose a raiser; I'd just mull it over for a second &amp; click the fold button with AJo.

EDIT: and when a guy who only plays 16% of his hands calls 3 cold preflop, I'm autofolding any flop that doesn't either give me a pair or a draw at a gutshot or better. Big pot irregardless, I'm not really confident in any of my overcard outs.

wouldn't raise pre flop, go for the free card on the river to improve your hand.

Don't 3 bet AJo. You need to fold the flop. You got yourself into quite a predicament w/ this one.

Fold PF. Fold flop. Check turn. Fold to turn raise.

Hmm ... well ... now that we're this far ... I'm not sure what I'd do on the river. Since I've disagreed with everything so far, betting can't be too wrong.

[Michael Davis]

You got the river right because you should check-fold, but you're really just spewing chips on this hand; every time you put in chips you shouldn't have (except for calling the turn raise).

Light raisers don't usually cap preflop after being reraised and cold called by a couple of TAGs with crap unless they're maniacs, so you're probably double dominated making the flop raise awful.

A question to anyone, what's the earliest position you'd want the light raiser to be in before you 3 bet this preflop?

[thesharpie]

I think he should've bet folded the river.
