generally i open fold AJo early in MP, but once you hit the flop like you did im going broke.

Re: $10 - AJ Early On
 

I would probably be raising AQs, AK, AA, KK, QQ in that position, limping 66+ and AJs (MAYBE, probably not) and mucking the rest

Re: $10 - AJ Early On
 

Just call preflop and control the pot after the flop, can't go broke on tp with AJ with 30 bb really.

Re: $10 - AJ Early On
 

How did BB double up? If he's loose, I guess it's OK to open then, but usually I'm folding this PF - not really interested in winning those t45 and even when I hit I can't play it comfortably.

Re: $10 - AJ Early On
 

Limping with AKo in early Phase is Ok. AJo is the perfect hand for a holiday in el busto busto. Fold prefold, sometimes good for a steal in late pos.

Pocketbear... he doulbed up on the QQ vs JJ hand...

Re: $10 - AJ Early On
 

I'm a tight nit, but this is an easy fold PF. Even AQ, I would let go. If you understand ICM, wait for later to take advantage. Keep in mind your not really playing poker at this stage.

mehh, sorry don't like to limp with AKo/s even early!! You are giving away too much equity at this buy-in...

Agree with other posters here: fold preflop

As played: this screams like trips/2 pair to me! I'm going too often broke with TPTK in similar situations, so this might be a big leak in my play!
