Hero ?

Anyone fold this preflop? I know peeling the flop was marginal at best. Advice on all streets appreciated, but my main question is my plan for the turn and river. Seems WA/WB so is check/call okay on the turn? On the river there might be some value in a bet, but I hate to get raised here. ???

Re: AJo blind defense
 

you want to fold preflop? I'm 3-betting this a lot of the time against that guy. Anyway, since you called preflop you have the best hand on the flop a lot of the time (go input top 35% of hands into pokerstove to get and idea of what this guy's hand range might be). I will often c/r the flop, but calling is fine too. I'm torn on the turn, but I think donk betting the turn and calling down if raised is probably best, although a case can be made for c/r'ing.

Anyway, the moral of the story here is that against a CO openraise from an aggresive player AJ is a much better hand then you are giving credit for. It will often have SD value UI and very often will dominate other ace hands.

Yeah. And don't post 7 hands on one page. Thanks

Re: AJo blind defense
 

3ball, easy.

Also, seeing the whole first page filled with threads by you and one other guy makes me want to leave the forum without reading or responding to any of the posts. So don't do that please.

c/r turn, bet/fold river anyone? WA/WB will work too so maybe c/c the turn and bet/call the river. I feel like your top pair of aces will be good most of the time so I think take the WA/WB line and get the most bets in.

aaaaaaahhhhhhh 3-bet that PF

hand kinda plays differently from there

Re: AJo blind defense
 

i 3bet pf every time here.

As played you missed a turn c/r. It's a GREAT spot for one because he can not 3bet you with AK/AQ so we aren't opening ourselves up to something nutso. Now you have to play a weird river spot.

i c/r the river but i suffer from FPS.

grunch
No way folding this pf.I dont think peeling the flop is marginal. You could well be ahead here. I raise the turn and bet the river.

On this flop vs 20% of hands you're a 40-60 underdog, I would check/call, on the turn your equity skyrockets to 62%, You have enough equity to c/r although since he has an insane aggro # bet/call is also a good line.
