Dumb noob type question on AJ hand
Only been at the table a couple of orbits. Villain's stats are 13/4/5. Is this an easy fold? I hate folding here, it makes me feel dirty. I just hate check folding, even this tight wad could find a bluff here.
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (10 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx SB ($93.55) BB ($95.85) UTG ($100) UTG+1 ($91.95) UTG+2 ($98.50) Hero ($110.45) MP2 ($93.60) MP3 ($109.05) CO ($302.13) Button ($100.25) Preflop: Hero is MP1 with J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.50. <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $4</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP3 calls $4, CO calls $4, Button calls $4, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>. Flop: ($17.50) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $15</font>, MP3 calls $15, CO folds, Button folds. Turn: ($47.50) K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP3 bets $36</font>, Hero ?? |

Re: Dumb noob type question on AJ hand
I think I lead this turn for $25 and fold to any aggression.
With A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] and K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] I don't buy the flush. If he calls a 3x bb OOP with QT then make a note. The only hand that I am concerned with is AK, hmmmmm, maybe Amoeba is right. |

Re: Dumb noob type question on AJ hand
This is where i think to myself - he has AK. This is also where a little voice screams that's only "16 combinations out of 1326 possible", tight or not, what are the chances of that? (1310:16 duh)
AQ with the Queen of spades was possible but does a player this tight call raises with AQo? The flat call on the flop scared me a bit too. Anyway if folding is OK, what about checking rather than leading the turn? |

He might be betting to protect his hand from your AQ [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. If you have any hope of continuing in this hand I think you have to lead the turn. Your check could induce the typical donk with Ax to try to protect his top pair. I think check/fold is a fine option also. It really boils down to your read on the villain. I have no problem with your fold, but leading the turn and then blocking the river unimproved wouldn't be horrible (assuming villain shows no aggression, at which point I fold my tent and start crying like a little girl). |
