c/r the flop

I don't mind betting the flop in hopes that villian will raise to shut out bb and utg. If it was hu or if I was in ep I would prefer a c/r.

Re: Playing AJ
 

its fine.

sometimes i fold the river if i dont think he 3 barrels anything i beat. online, thats not often.

also, your action is messed up. you are acting first on the flop and the villain is acting first on later streets.

He's not often raising with a worse hand though. Also what draws are we trying to charge?

We're trying to knock out the BB and UTG's silly little Kings and Queens, I think.

Sorry about that. It should be c/c on turn and river.

Re: Playing AJ
 

Perhaps I'm bringing this back to poker 101, but I have a question about the c/r recommendation.

Should I c/r because of the three bet before the flop and I expect him to bet the flop after a check? What if he makes it 3 bets to me? Fold or call planning to c/f if I dont improve?

This hand belongs in microlimits.

Re: Playing AJ
 

Doh! This does look like a micro limit post. Sorry about that. I would move myself if I could, but it is too late.

I don't understand this. Is this for value? Someone with two overs is getting pot odds to call one bet but not two, so the initial bet seems to be the right play to me.
