Re: Am I playing a marginal hand too passively?

The statistical sample is low on villain, just 93 hands. Absolution, I use the Tight Game chart in SSHE. Early position, Against A Raise, AJs is there. [/ QUOTE ] Okay then, but I still fold this except against LAGs that I will raise and I would possibly call on really loose tables. |

Yep, was just saying, but I do agree with you now, and I know that those charts only get you so far, you need to tailor them to circumstances and to players, as in this case.

Re: Am I playing a marginal hand too passively?
Maybe I'm misreading the chart - it does say Against A Raise but does that excluse raises before you? i.e. it only applies if you've limped and the raiser is behind you?
If so... oops. |

[/ QUOTE ] The SSH charts definitely recommend cold-calling a raiser with AJs. Remember that those were written for looser games (a bygone time, mostly). The statistical sample is enough to push me to a fold. |

[/ QUOTE ] No no, if it's in the chart as 'against a raise', then you followed the chart fine since it's for your first action. If you limp and there is a raiser behind you or if you cold call and get 3bet behind you, I can't think of a situation where I'm folding for one more. In the posted hand, you're getting over 8:1 on calling 1 more back to you. Folding there is so very, very wrong. |

Re: Am I playing a marginal hand too passively?
Grunch...
You played this hand all backwards. Don't cold-call first in pre-flop. Fold that flop, you're drawing to 3-outs at best. |

Re: Am I playing a marginal hand too passively?
I disagree with only 3 outs on the flop. BDSD, BDFD 3 outs, ace 1.5 outs, jack 0.5 outs. You can peel the flop. Turn is more WA/WB and we can see the river for 1BB.

Re: Am I playing a marginal hand too passively?
*grunch*
If the sample size for the stats is large enough that the 3.2% raise is significant, I would fold AJs against UTG. I would then fold the flop. The pot is laying 10:1, but giving yourself 4 outs is a stretch. |
