Re: AJ turn decision Crypto 2-4
The more I think about raising the flop, the more I like it. We have a marginal hand--the top end of a gut shot and two overs. In position, we want to get it heads up with UTG and take a free card if we want. Especially if it is possible that UTG is betting just an open ender, maybe with a pair. (I would probably bet out with that hand here too.)
If SB decides to check-3 bet, then we have a much better idea where we are (3 outs to the straight, probable chop), and we can confidently call the flop and fold on an unimproved turn.
If UTG reraises, we are in the same spot. A flop raise could save us some serious coin when we are behind, and simplifies the decision-making when the big bets come out.
