2/4NL, AJ weak postflop play
 

I think thats ok to coldcall preflop, even though I usually raise here. But postflop, I think I played this hand too weak. But on the other side, I thought that raising either the flop or the turn would give me action from better hands and would make worst hands to fold... I wasnt sure so that's why I posted it here.

BTW, it was my 5th hand against the CO so no read at all. But SB is a decent agressive player who multitable that limit. He's 30/14 preflop over only 150 hands though.

I guess I should have raised that flop... But what if he reraised me? Easy fold?

ya you got to raise that flop. If he comes over the top of that I think you gotta fold as he probably will not do this with kj.

I dont mind the way you played it. Your hand isn't super strong so I'd like to keep the pot smallish, maybe you can raise the turn for value if no T or Q hits. But playing it this way takes the most money from Ax or bluffs.

I don't mind it, PF included, but I'd usually raise the flop or turn - not always though.

personally, i don't mind the conservative play preflop...not a big hand and OOP, so go for pot control...raise that flop though, or at the very least turn...
