NL500...Safety play?

[Garland]

Location: Bicycle Casino in Bell Gardens, CA
Stakes: $300-$500 buy-in, $5/$5 blinds
Players: A very tightish passive table. Not a lot of big pots in the few orbits I've been playing. Probably a ** of 5 table.

Principal players:

SB - Young semi-loose player. Not too much known about him.
Stack = $340

BB - Relative unknown Stack = $700

Button - Me with Stack = $600ish

The rest of the table has anywhere from around $300 to $600 chips.

On to the hand:

Preflop: (Pot = $10)

UTG limps, MP limps, CO limps, I find A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and limp. SB checks, BB decides to disturb the party and raise to $25 straight and everyone calls to SB who dejectedly also calls.

Flop: (Pot = $150, 6 players). A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Everyone checks to me. I check?

All comments appreciated. Results forthcoming.

your pre flop play is uh... hideous

[Praetor]

I say the same I said in the other thread, be more aggressive everywhere
Raise preflop and bet that flop for sure

[Percula]

Honestly I don't know what to say, as I have no experience to match or compare to this. I don't think I have ever limp/called a raise with AJs OTB PF in a passive game my whole life.

Not trying to be overly critical here, so I am asking an honest question here... Why are you being so passive? Having a bad run, not enough sleep, too much to drink, some sort of sick read, did you see AA in the blinds hand or something?

[Hattifnatt]

Raise preflop, as played bet flop.

I think preflop should be raise.

prepare for a lot of "you should bet flop" without any reasoning.

I'm just not looking to put in 1/6 of my stack on this flop, since if called I have about pot left and its pretty damn awkward on a blank turn since you can't make any turn bet without committing yourself.

I think betting flop is pretty bad actually.

especially given bb pfr checked.

wtf, raise preflop. Someone needs to make a garland anthology to match JK's.
