Default Re: NL200 6m - Playing AJ for stacks

A little bit of both I guess. I wanted to put shortie to a decision, and I think he might put me on a draw and call me with a PP like KK/QQ/JJ or a weaker A like AT/A9.

Also wanted button out of the way, since from his flop call I put him on a draw as most likely hand.

Don't know if I'm thinking the wrong way about something here though...

Don't worry about putting shorty to a decision, you should be fine getting it in vs him, though usually you want to give him rope instead of make him call.

restove it with some a7a3 other ax hands for villain. As played looks like a call, though we don't like it too much.

Lead flop is fine here, call if shorty pushes, go with read once see what other villain does.

Ok, I added the possible two-pair combinations w suited aces, and also AK/AQ even if I think those hands are very, very unlikely. My equity drops to 35%.

Board: 7c 3h Ah
Dead:

equity (%) win (%) tie (%)
Hand 1: 35.1148 % 34.61% 00.51% { AdJh }
Hand 2: 64.8852 % 64.38% 00.51% { 77, 33, AQs+, As7s, Ac3c, As3s, KhQh, KhTh, Kh9h, Kh8h, QhTh, Qh9h, Qh8h, Th9h, Th8h, Th7h, 9h8h, 9h7h, 8h7h, 8h6h, 7h6h, 7h5h, 6h5h, 6h4h, 5h4h, AQo+ }

I think I would have called. The only thing that makes sense with the call, reraise is a draw. But then again donks usually do things that don`t make sense...

At the time playing, I made a rough estimation that he'd have a flush draw 50% of the time and a set the other 50%. Of the 50% he has a flush draw he'll draw out on me 1/3 which means I'll drag the pot about 34% of the time.

Getting 2.4-to-1 odds I called. He showed 77 and MHING.

Felt like I donked away my entire stack for no reason... :-(

Raising the flop is gross. Charging draws is overrated .

Interesting. Do people agree with this pov?

The question of charging draws v. not charging them and letting your ok hand go if one hits is one that's been on my mind recently.

I never want to play for stacks in this spot. Just call the flop and play a medium size pot with your medium strength hand.

flop raise was not a little too much since ur hand strength doesn't realy reflect it...u don't want to get too deep with AJ even though villian showed some weakness by just calling on the flop...

Sounds like you had some pretty good reasons. Just because he had 77 and you lost, doesn't mean you made a bad call.

I didn't mean that the call of his push was the worst part. I was more irritated for putting myself in the situation in the first place. Still not sure that just calling the flop instead of raising is a brilliant play either. And betting with the intention of folding to a raise doesn't seem that good either. Being OOP with a medium strength hand totally sucks...
