Default Re: River decision in a big pot

[ QUOTE ]
Actually, HEFAP, pg 29, says:

"It may also be correct to raise {first in or with callers to your right} with Group 4 hands AJ or KQ. The time to do so is when you think it is likely that your raise will:
1. Knock out most (if not all) of the players behind you.
2. Keep the pot short-handed."

Granted that these conditions don't necessarily apply after 3 limpers, but I did want to "clarify" what HEFAP had to say about AJ in MP.

I refer you to p 162. There is a big difference b/w open-raising trying to steal the blinds and/or play against few people with random hands, AND playing AJo in multiway pot.
A lot of stuff in HEPFAP is contradictory, you have to take it very situation specific.
