Personally I raise 86s utg+1 and it's correct. But that's just me. And competent players. I almost forgot about those.

Raising 86s is completely different than raising a trash hand like AJo. Gobbo, aren't you a limit player. I know big cards have more value there, but in a tournament against fish, No. I may raise 86s from that position if I feel the time is right, but AJo is auto-muck.

You don't play poker, do you? AJ is not trash at all if:
1) You don't get called.
2) You're playing against people who can't release bad aces.

AJ is bad against good players because they won't go to the felt with A9. At least give reasons to your points.

LOL good point. Most of my friends who play poker would agree with you that I don't play poker because I play turbo SNGs [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

I'm just giving Bobbo a hard time because he has the tendency to overplay trouble hands sometimes, but he's overall a very good post-flop player.

I made it 250 (blinds 50/100) UTG+1 w/ AJo,

Raising AJo from early. Absolute brain damage. You should post it in white with a warning if you are going to inflict brain cell loss upon me like that ever again. Seriously, WTF?

I like how MightyMouse immediately turned from hater to bitchboy the moment he gets called on.

Yea, whenever i get called on (WTF does this mean?), I completely turn into bitchboy. Pretty commonplace for me. Either way, I contend that playing raised pots with AJo in tournaments OOP is negative EV.

SmittyMatt may still be in. He had a good stack at the first break but thusfar he hasn't come back to the room.

I didn't play. Overslept. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
