5/10 AJs

[Ionphore]

Full Tilt, 7 handed...

I just joined the game an orbit ago.
This generally isn't a standard line for me, but its what I ended up doing this hand...
I limp UTG+1 with A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Folded to the button, who limps, SB folds, BB takes the flop.

A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

BB checks, I check, button bets out pot of 35, BB folds, I call.

Turn is a 3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

I check, button bets pot of 110 or so, I call after using a bit of time.

River is a 4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

I lead out for 150..

Button probably thinks im fairly tight, but not too tight, we have played a bit together...

Thoughts?

I like it, maybea little more on the river, say 200? But I think you are winning anyway...button isn't raising preflop with a stronger ace? What do you read him for, A7/A2?

I really like a bet on this flop better than a check call.

Stack sizes are relevant and would help....Generally speaking, I think a bet on this flop is a must.

You have to bet the flop.

[B1GF1SHY]

You play different hands and different opponents so you can play different ways. There is no 'HAVE TO' in this game.

If this board was rainbow would you like a flop check/call, turn lead? or is AJ too weak for this and that should be reserved for AK/AQ?

[Estydogg]

I personally would of check-raised on the flop. But if you have some gamble in you I think it's a good play. Because of the way you played it he has to put you on a flush draw and you might even get a better hand to fold.

If he reraises, you got caught representing what he has. I've done that before.

Were you going to make that river bet regardless of what came?
