$100 NL 6m, AJ hand reraised preflop.

[fsista]

Raiser had laggy stats, as did SB. Is this line fine?

Are you asking about your all in on the flop?

[fsista]

Both.

I was just preached to about rereasing PF so I am not sure what other 2+2rs will say about that one.
I however made a similar play as you did, with KJ angainst a very lose oppenent, and I got called with AK high and lost the pot.

I am not so fond of the push as, if you get called, you are probably crushed, I think a $40-50 bet will do just as much a push will and will not risk you're entire stack. I recently wrote something about going All-in too much.

Preflop is bad IMO. If UTG is raising light I don't like doing this when were going to be OOP for the rest of the hand. I also think there will be much better spots to make a stand then with AJo, which is an easily dominated hand. Flop bet is just bad to worse. Villain almost never folds an over pair here and if he has A or king high you could have likely taken it down with a sensible Cbet.

Unless you have reraised him before and he has shown a willingness to fold pf w/o a very good hand, than I really hate it. Especially OOP. Your hand is a pure bluff preflop.

Flop uh....I doubt he is folding QQ.

What that^^^ means is uh..you took your stab at it, just surrender.

So if you bet 45 and he pushes will you fold????
no

I figured since he had quite laggy stats, like 3x/2x, I would most likely have the best hand and take it down most oftenly preflop. I can see why betting 35-40$ might be better, but I wanted to make sure I saw all cards if he called, and I don't think I can stick it in on most turns if he happens to call that bet, which makes me not see the river card... Is this totally absurd thinking?

[gimmetheloot]

F, I think you should check and hope it gets checked through. You cant reraise pf for value, hes jsut not calling 20BB off w/o having AJ crushed unless he is a complete idiot.

I dont like leading this flop for any amount.
