Re: 50NL - AJ top pair facing large river bet
your flop bet size is probably really bad.
Yeah I'd likely fold river since u didn't give anymore info. |

Re: 50NL - AJ top pair facing large river bet
too big, its a dry flop with several opponents in and you have one pair.

Re: 50NL - AJ top pair facing large river bet
bet a little less on the flop. I like 5 or so By betting so much you are just encouraging all the hands that you dominate to fold. You also keep the pot smaller, and have an easier decision on the river.
the more solid the opponent the more likely that I am folding on that river. |

PF - good
Flop - I would bet $4 to $5 here. The board is really dry, so you're either way ahead or way behind. Turn - I like the check behind for pot control. River - seems like a fold to me - it looks like he was hoping you'd fire again on the turn and is trying to make up for lost value. |

Re: 50NL - AJ top pair facing large river bet
I disagree a bit with the "official" line. I like the flop bet. You basically have one chance to win this pot (without the miracle jack hitting the board). You took a pot-sized shot at it, and folded one villain. Well, I don't think you need any more information - you've got all you need after the flop. Check behind on the turn, c/f the fold. You're beat.
I wonder about a limp preflop. It appears the BB would have limped, too. Then a big bet or rr on the flop would give more information. I don't like playing AJo for a raise until the cutoff, for this exact reason. You tend to see the flop behind in the hand with a difficult time catching up. |

[/ QUOTE ] your thinking would be much more correct if hero held a weaker hand than AQ. Your too often good here, and would like to get another value bet out of weaker hands. betting so big on the flop actually prevents you from manipulating the pot size better. |
