ansky, what is wrong with the preflop reraise? Are we playing AJ suited as if it were A2 suited, only for the flush value?

AJs generally doesn't play very well OOP deep, especially if your postflop game isn't too strong.

I call the flop, but I'm a station.

damn, you beat me to it.

I still think raising is a better play here PF and I'll just agree to disagree with Ansky on that part.

I'd like to ask about the preflop action here - I'm trying to learn about how to play hands like this when blinds are so small in relation to stack sizes.

ansky, what is wrong with the preflop reraise? Are we playing AJ suited as if it were A2 suited, only for the flush value?

[/ QUOTE ]

i know this isn't the main focus but I don't think re-raising here prf is bad either since we have the puck and the blinds allow us to....

The best argument for reraising PF is that we do have position and it's going to make it soooo much easier to pick up this pot (and obviously fold if we're 4-bet). So many bad players will happily call OOP and check/fold the flop.

Now we're in kind of a crap spot. I can't imagine being ahead. But we DO have a good top pair, and a backdoor nut flush draw! Folding is probably the smart play, though I have a sinking feeling you will see a worse Ax here a decent % of the time.

I guess I'm a donk, because if I were the BB and had A9, 99, or 55, I'd be betting between $250-$300 into that pot.
