Re: AJ on bubble
I think you gotta lay this down, though I would have pushed after Villain checked to me on the flop.

Re: AJ on bubble
Fold preflop. Fold AKo too. Tens are the 1st pure +EV push here. Your opponents can actually play in a variety of ways to make AJ (or AK) a bad push. Namely they just call all-in no matter what they hold.

What kind of morons call any 2 when you fold A9 here, let alone AK?! |

Re: AJ on bubble
They don't know what you are pushing and folding here. I get beat into the pot in this spot all day long by hands like KQ.
If the SB/BB call 22+/A2+ you can't push AK. So my 1st statement of "fold AKo" is kinda strong, but against people with ???? calling standards it isn't a risk that I'm willing to take. It is impossible for me to say if it is +EV or not since I have no idea what they call with. If you push AK and he calls with QJ, you aren't going to be too happy about it. Brad |

Brad [/ QUOTE ] That's definitely true. So, you've got to put a range on these guys. First of all, Button should be calling a lot of hands here, even though there's a chance you get called and bust out. Getting it in with Button is a good idea generally. While opponents can call QJ, and will KQ a lot, they're not calling any 2, and you shouldn't assume they're not calling any 2. I guess a sane range would be 22+, A2+, KT+ or 44+, A7+, KJ+. |
