standard fold? no reads on villian but i can see relentless raising from the bb if I call to see flop

Why are you 3betting with AJs pre-flop? As played standard fold.

[SMACK BOOTY]

unless you have a special read on MP1, fold PF

why are you making it out to be this bad play?

[ship_it_trebek]

I assume MP folded to this mess?

[wikemang]

fold. i wouldn't advise 3betting AJs preflop

I'd say fold here.

3betting AJ preflop I think is pretty aggro (right?) and it's not something i'd do all the time. I think it depends on your style.

Personally, without reads, I'd flat call with that hand, see a flop and take it from there. I dont think 3betting it is bad though, it can help your image by 3betting a wide range of hands. the thing is though... is anybody paying attention? Even if they are do you think they'll even care? Maybe at higher stakes, at NL10 i'm not so sure.

My 2c, might be right, might be wrong!

I like the 3-bet if MP opens lightly. Why ? He will fold to my c-bet often enough to make this profitable. When BB makes it 4, i fold. If i where sure that MP calls, i have a look at the flop -&gt; We get 1:7,5.
