AJo in MP. Mistakes I've made?

[sean457j]

What mistakes do you think I have made in this hand? Personally I'm not sure I should be playing AJ in this position and I should have probably bet the turn.

The villain in this hand plays any two cards as long as they are in the same suit or close together in rank.

Seat 1 - SB ($1245 in chips)
Seat 2 - BB ($1835 in chips)
Seat 3 - Villain ($2440 in chips)
Seat 5 - UTG+1 ($1750 in chips)
Seat 6 - Hero ($2860 in chips)
Seat 7 - MP 2 ($1580 in chips)
Seat 8 - CO+1 ($730 in chips)
Seat 9 - CO ($1060 in chips)
SB - Posts small blind $50
BB - Posts big blind $100

preflop : raise more if you want to play but I fold with your stack / hand / position.

Flop looks good. Checking behind would not be horrible.

Bet the turn

[Q..]

call/fold pre. by raising you get rid of hands you should be happy to play with.

I like a limp behind pre, and you have to bet the turn since he might be drawing.

[sean457j]

I think I like the idea of limping most. It would keep the pot small, therefore I don't have to pay too much to price out draws. Plus I would be able to get away from the hand easier if someone becomes overly aggressive.

Which means he's going to keep calling or betting into any board until he hits his sorry little flush on the river, which I'm guessing he did.

If you had like 1000 or 1500 in the same situation? would you still fold?

With a 1k stack I would shove it for the dead 250 here

Believe it or not the guy turned over T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] for a made inside straight.

Rex u should always c-bet that board heads-up after raising Pre.

I would fold this like always Pre-flop, and I think a limp is worse then a raise. AJo is not the hand to be playing multi-way as blinds will likely see the flop cheaply behind.

As played if you raise its t350 at a min. Makes your c-bet t450-t500 on the flop and you have a no brainer Pot Sized shove on the turn given your read.
