Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is SB with J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
4 folds, Hero calls t50 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t150)</font>, <font color="#cc0000">BB raises to t300</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises all-in t1760</font>.

The villain has also raised when I completed from SB BvB last time. How do you like my line?

Raise that up. AJ is a great hand 6-handed with blinds this high. From UTG, you might even push, though you're just deep enough that a 4BB raise isn't bad.

As played, insta-push.

Wow, raising x4bb from UTG would be really bad...
And if I'm raising this from SB I'm raising with intention to call a push, right?

[greggg230]

If you don't want to raise the hand UTG, just fold.


And, sorry, I misread your post. I thought you were UTG. Still, raise this hand and call a push.

I'm not saying that I don't want to raise that hand UTG. I'm just saying that a raise to t400 would be spewing - t250 is enough.

t250 preflop
Push, as played

One of the best regs did this to me with QQ on the button, when I pushed over him in the BB, so I like the idea.
He had a solid read on me then..

*shrug*

You're going to be OOP with AJ and an unknown number of callers. If it were 4 handed, I'd agree, but there's enough players where you should be raising up more than 2.5 BB from UTG if you're going to play AJ oop.
