Re: Tell me how you play AJ here after flopping top pair
I think you've got to fold here. TPTK is very rarely good here unless Villian is a total donkey, particularly because I don't think you made it look like you had nothing - after all, you raised pf from EP and bet the flop.
Given a board with no obvious draws (apart from the unlikely 46), I think you're either WA (way ahead) (to TPGK or a small pair) or WB (to a set or overpair) but uncomfortably out of position. So to avoid letting the hand spin out of control, I'd prefer c/c and c/c on the turn and river (unless you hit another A or J, of course) possibly finding a fold on the river if you decide you're almost certainly beaten. The turn c/r, I think, suggests a little bit of FPS...
I agree with other posters that AJo, and even AQo, are not good hands to be getting involved with in EP, in any live game. Just makes for tricky situations like this one...
