Re: River decision in a big pot
I fear we may be distracting from OP's point with a "how many angels can dance on the head of a pin" argument. You are correct in that HEFAP (pg 162) says to fold AJo after an UTG limp with players to act behind you. But, that's not OP's situation. He's got AJo after 3 limpers and the BTN. Furthermore, pg 161 of HEFAP says that if you're holding AQo OTB (admittedly not AJo- but close enuf for government work) and the flop comes T62(r) and it's checked to you, "You should bet virtually every time." That's why I don't get your flop check with respect to OP's post.
BTW: I agree that HEFAP is simply chalked-full of contradictory/bad advice.
EDIT: With respect to my original AJo/HEFAPs post, I was referring to what the author's said to do with the hand in MP, with or without limpers, and not in a blind steal situation.
