Would have played the same.
Btw: why not post this in HSMTT?

No.

Wait a minute - did he play like an expert, winning some major tourney recently? In this case it could be me! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

He was in the leaderboard yesterday for a long time, figured tackleberry tackle box.

Whatever, how did you do? 149th for me.

Grats!!!

I did not well yesterday. First I lost nearly my whole stack with the other hand posted and then I finally busted (as about 2,700th) when I open-pushed as the shortstack with AJ from the button, was called by 66 in the BB which held up. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I play the hand the same the majority of the time. Though a pre flop 3-bet in position (btn) is probably > call if he's been min raising pre a lot...

Yeah, if he's been [censored] around too much, 3-bet preflop is much better with AJo.

I think I play it pretty much the same. Feel pretty comfortable about my post-flop play, and I don't apply the gap concept on min-raises this early. Especially from mid position, a min-raise can be anything from a suited connector to a small pair. However, info on stack sizes would be nice...

Stack sizes were around 3,5k each (Villain and me).

What would we try to accomplish with a 3-bet? It surely was no valuebet, so what do we expect? After having studied several 2+2-posts about marginal hands like AJ I was pretty convinced that it was correct to just keep the pot small and see what the flop brings. Or am I wrong here?
