Yes but when he 2x your flop bet don't 2x him back, pop it up to 900 or shove.

Btw how you raising to 1760 on the flop?

I'd play for stacks here every time. at the $5s

Savaron · #5 08-09-2007, 05:35 PM

same for Q? or even a Jack?

As in AQ/AJ?

I'd probably call the min-raise with both hands and be inclined to fold AJ if there is substantial aggression on the turn. Probably call down with AQ and hope to not be all-in by showdown. That could be wrong though.

edit: maybe not ... may be a good time to have sharkscope fired up and search for this guy ... I've seen people call down with top pair nine kicker on the first hand before, or people going all-in with air and whatnot on the first hand

I'd play AQ the same way, and probably AJ too.

A lot of players are getting it in with any ace at this level, don't miss out.

I remember the 33s, it seemed like people would shove A5 on this flop, it was beautiful.

seriously, low buy ins people do crazy things. i hit a set of sixes and called an ai on the river when the guy had ace hi. and i'd been betting at him for two streets.
