Hand 3 is, sadly, a fold.
But what were you thinking in hand 1?
A moran raises, you have AJ sooted in position and... fold????
That is really bad.

why play 60/30 at best when you can play 80/20?

Eh surely you mean 60/40? /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Anyways this is a very bad thinking. In poker a 60/40 edge is huge, and (if you somehow were able to accurately get this number) even giving up a 50.5 edge would be bad.

[Perk76]

I prefer to raise in position against these guys all day long since you isolate them alot and the rest of the table folds. Gives you a better shot the villans money before someone else gets it.

I can find a fold in hand 3 though since any random King or two pair hand has a 1 pair hand smoked, and that board hits his range most likely in this case.
Play as many pots against that type of villan as you can, and AJ in position is definately playable.

[Khumalo]

OP, for hand 3, how about, hero makes it $5 pf, hero bets half of villain's remaining stack on flop (about $11, right?), hero auto-calls/shoves any turn with no worries?

[UptownExpress]

this looks good as long as u fold turn. If he's really nutty u might want to overbet preflop or flop since he's calling any pair or drawl.

hand #1 3bet pf

equity will change once the cards come out on the flop and he is the type of the guy vs who pair is nuts


hand #2 fold
