25NL AJs blind battle

[LOwrestling2001]

say villain does this with JJ (even though most villains won't even 4b JJ), JJ-AA have us crushed, AK and AQ also crush us, say we hit our A, JJ-KK is not paying us off, say we hit our J, we are more than likely still beat...I think those factors make this a good fold, despite the good immediate odds we may be getting.

why do you want to display a weak tight image?
id rather have the table worried about me that knowing what my hand is cause my lines are super weak/tight
being seen as weak tight doesnt really help you get paid off on your good hands.

just sitting back and trying to snap off bluffs just isnt profitable enough for me cause we dont have great/good hands that often

Its only 10 hands so no real read on him
Nobody cares how you play at 25NL .
For me his play is suspicious but I would call.The problem id how we play the hand when we flop a J or an A and he leads out ...

It's never a bad thing when other players have a perception of you that's not true. Although in this particular case, it isn't really relevant anyway, as the vast majority of NL25 players aren't paying attention.

so if noboday cares how you play then why do you care about your image?

im not folding here, not because I dont want to appear weak tight but because of the great odds i am getting and I can play post flop so im not goig to stack off if an ace flops

I think its kinda a gross mistatement that knowbody notices how you play @ 25NL esp post legislation.

[LOwrestling2001]

uh, folding to a 4bet one time doesn't make you weak tight. there are other, smarter spots to get aggressive. fine, say you call, what do you do on an A or J high flop?

[genius55]

folding is "correct" as I see it.

but calling is only marginally bad because you are in position.

I probably call most of the time for that reason

jesus you are getting 4 to 1 and have positing how can you possibly fold. if you are afraid of stacking off on an A or J high flop then a) dont 3 bet AJs and b) go play limit. call and stack him when flop comes Xd xd A

thank you

call
although his hand looks extremely strong (2 minraises), we are getting good odds.
