7 handed, you have a good stack.. theres 2 shorties that might wanna gambool, and AJs aint too shabby. in a 10.. im still learning, and might possibly fold. in a 109, i make it 250 most of the time. holla

I would raise 300-400, sometimes just call. Depends on how loose the table is.

AJ's good against raggy Aces and a coinflip to low pocket pairs. If someone else goes all in, I don't want to be committed with this hand.
I like my stack size and ability to steal. I don't want to jeopardize a good position with a marginal play. I call UTG and call an all in from the shorties, but not the medium or big stacks. |

You're in pretty good shape and don't need the blinds, so unless you're adapt at playing AJ oop I'd fold.

I like no logo's line, limp and call an allin from a short stack, fold to any other raise. Unless you've been limp/folding often, you should get HU against the BB often enough to make this worthwhile. Plus, often a short stack will push with any ace here to pick up your "dead" money.

Re: what is the move here? (AJs)
While marginal in some situations, I really think AJs is too strong a hand 7-handed to fold.
I probably make it 300-350 and see what happens. You may be called only by a short stack - no more damage can be done. Or only by one of the blinds in which case you won't be OOP post-flop. |

I raise this to 300 and only fold preflop to a reraise from a large stack. I call the all-in from one of the short-stacks. If someone smoothcalls my raise, then I lead out on the flop with a continuation bet and hope to God that they fold then. (Unless I flop AAJ). [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I wouldnt have a problem folding this as you are comfortable, but a call would also be fine. However, just to avoid letting the blinds use rags, I'd raise 200-250

Re: what is the move here? (AJs)
Heres the options ...
1. Fold. Too weak of an option. What are you waiting for if your going to fold AJs 7 handed? Awfly weak-tight IMO. 2. Raise to 300. Not bad. But now youve already committed 20-25% of your stack pre-flop, and you cant use the Stop N Go on the flop. Most likley you will be called in 2-3 spots, and be in some trouble. I think this option is out. 3. All-in. This was my initial thought -- but now that I think about it --- is it worse risking your entire stack (1300 chips) to pick up 150 in blinds? Your not even increasing your stack by 10%. Big risk for a small reward. 4. Limping. This is my option. Youll still have 12X BB after the limp, plenty of room to manuever. If you are an experienced post-flop player, you shouldnt have a problem. |
