put opo on flush drawm , considering line he took seems fair. always calling?

Poker_Fail

tbh I think you should have folded pre, but postflop it's deffo a check on flop + turn, then ship the river for maximum +evness

bearlyther

yes snap calling river!

how can AJ be a fold in the CO 5 handed?!

to the OP I think you played it fine

Dudeskin8

Nice hand.

CrazyBen23

Well aj is a very marginal hand and will often get us in trouble like so here, i dont mind a fold in c/o, would of saved yaself 20 british pounds or so here if get this leak out of ur game of opening marginal hands

BigHawk89

TBH folding folding AJ in the cut off seat would be way too nitty and i think you played the hand well just unlucky the guy hit a miracle river.

Curt360x27

deffo fold in the cut off we should only be raising JJ+ here. That range tightens even further when we is on the button as we will have to see the flop out of position and we dont want that now do we!

As the hand was played we should make a min raise on the flop as we want to get max value and we dont want to make it obvious we have a hand. The min raise also protects our hand from flushies as it gives him a bad price to call. Then on the turn (after pumping our fist, telling your mam and dad and ringing you mate to tell him you have hit TWO PAIR) we should bet about 1/10 of the pot to set us up for a shove on the river. When he bets the river you should just go all in and if he has a 7, withdraw all your money, post the hand on area 51 with a title of 'ahhh moron hits mircale' and never play again.

Sit out if you're going to fold pre.  I assume people are levelling when they say this.

You can raise flop given results though calling/raising are both fine, bet turn slightly bigger imo as you'd expect if he was leading a strong made hand on the flop to do it again on the turn. River is very thin to raise so just calling and making a note is fine.

Given how you actually play cards I cannot be 100% sure you are joking here...

can't believe regular players are saying fold AJ pre.

I knew I was a bad player for occasionally stacking off with Kings ROFL

pryce6

I think if the ace and the jack were both RED then it's more of a call init

pryce6

That way we can more often make 5 REDS

AcidMan27

I've got a feeling Poker Fail thinks the hero had 10/7 and has read the HH wrong.

That's the only logical explanation I can think of anyway.

Wacko90

Just shove pre

rancid

hand is fine, maybe raise donked flop but depends on reads

as for the river, not many will fold here so very hard hero fold

pod1

aint ever folding pre here, as for jj+ how many hands are you playing curt??? do you find when you do play a hand everyone folds lol

CrazyBen23

Personally i think curt is being abit nitty with only playing jj+ from cutoff, i'd personally add 77+ and ak/aq to that, maybe its because im abit of a loose player and curts on the tighter side. Don't see what some of the 'regs' are moaning about, they'd end up 20bob down more than me in this hand with they're loose open and my correct fold.

Die_hard

Fold pre, as said just getting into trouble

TommyD

1)  I assume anyone saying open fold an Ace and a Jack is levelling.  Nh, wp.

2)  I have a lot of history with the villain.  Assuming you have little and are treating him like a random your line is pretty much fine.  I agree with Beaneh about sizing on the turn, but only by 50p or so.  River easy call.  Back to the flop, I'm not sure how much I like raising v unknown.  Yes the flush draw is going to be out there a bit with that donk lead but I'm not raising to fold.  I'm not completely sure how much I like our chances versus an unknown 3bet range on the flop.

With history, well, I do things different.

BorinLoner

I cannot believe how this thread keeps jumping to the top of the forum. I hadn't bothered commenting because it seemed so straightforward but all it takes to draw out half of the community is for someone to say "Fold AJ pre-flop"... sigh...

rancid

surely people saying fold pre - this is sarcism :S

don't think it's a level !

IDONKCALLU

if people think folding aj is fine i think im folding 9s 10s or even jacks lol its a cash table not a mtt

After thinking about this hand for the last few hours, I've had a chnge of mind, I think there is value to be raising pre, however when you make it 3x you are only going to get called by better so you should just min-raise, if he 3bets you it's a great spot to turn your hand into a bluff and Shove as he will fold QQ and even KK (If he's not a fish) as you are repping AA really well.

We shouldn't min raise pre as this will get called by little fishies with bad hands cause they getting them gud odds. We shouldn't make it too much more though maybe 9 or 10x so we get them blinds added onto our stack. Not sure why you want to turn our hand into a bluff if we get 3 bet? We have AJ so we want to get it in pre against QQ or KK as we can smack that A and stack em!
