What should I do on the river? Make a bet and continue my aggression? Or just check-fold? (which seems a little weak imo) Just made a crying call here..

I didn't raise PF, because I don't like to be playing AJo out of position. Is this the right play or should I raise for isolation?

Open to all suggestions!

Check the flop, call a bet, and reevaluate the turn, unless your opponents are very agressive and you cna confidently get all the money in.

If the limpers don't include too many calling stations then make a nice size raise PF and try and take the pot straight down.

Without reads, don't be in too much of a hurry to start building a decent pot with a marginal hand, OOP on such a dry flop. Check the flop.

I'm not sure why we shouldn't bet that flop. It's very dry and hero has TP decent kicker. Hero most likely has the best hand. I would bet it. I think hero is finished on that river. Although I don't know what button has, he cold called $6 on the turn with no draws in sight. This is the cheezy 2 play. I just can't see what he would limp with that has a 2 in it. A2s probably. I fold that river.

w/o a read i would just dump the turn after the button coldcalls. it's somewhat likely one of them has a two and somewhat likely they both have an A w/ weaker kickers. i don't mind letting this go until i have somewhat of a read.

what did the button have btw?

I think I fold the turn, the min-raise and cold call probably mean that I'm beat by at least one villain. On the river I'm definitely folding to button's bet since I can't see this being a bluff or value bet by a worse hand almost ever.

I hate this in an unraised pot, you are beat by lots of hands.

Button turned over the absolute nuts (22)
