This makes me want to choke a dude
I have AJo in $3-6 curently 7 handed game. I raise three limpers (including Mr. Magoo, who has welding goggle sunglasses, a brown wool suit, and a Sherlock Holmes hat)on the button. The flop comes A8T rainbow. checked to me, I bet, 2 calls. Turn is 8. checked to me, I bet, two callers. River is a deuce. checked to me, I bet, and get 1 caller (Mr. Magoo). Mr. Magoo has AKs.
I have to restrain myself from choking the guy. -J

Re: This makes me want to choke a dude
wow, what a great example of a "trouble" hand. Before raising this (with 3 limpers), you should ask yourself a few questions: 1) Why did they limp? Are they bad players playing every hand, or are these decent players who limp decent hands? (Yes, including AKs, I do that often in early position). And 2) What is this raise going to accomplish? Are you going to scare everyone else out behind you, or are you are a table where 2 more people will cold call just because the pot looks enticing enough already, therefore building a big pot with many players with offsuit big cards?

While I think you have to value bet that river 95% of the time, I think I check behind Mr. Magoo until I get to know him a little bit better. That said, I don't think you can blame yourself for the way you played the hand. Mr. Magoo probably saved you a few bets by thinking you had AA for sure.

AJo is my least favorite hand in all of poker. I cant fold with it, I cry to raise with it, and I rarely win with it. Have fun though [/ QUOTE ] KQo and AJo are my two biggest problem hands. PT says I win with both of them, but it sure doesn't feel like it.

Re: This makes me want to choke a dude
Don't you know that AK is a "drawing hand" and that "you always lose with it" and "that is why you shouldn't raise with it". Sorry been playing in too many live passive games.

Re: This makes me want to choke a dude
Choke him. Not at all. I would thank him. I've seen this type of play several times. Once some guy flopped a set and didn't reraise me with my TPTK Q. Another time a guy flopped a straight. Yes I lost the hand but because of his poor play I got off cheap. I think you want to play this guy whenever you sit down at a table.

Re: This makes me want to choke a dude
I know, but extremely passive play gets on my last nerve. Also tight old people who dont like to bet their good hands because they crave action. I felt like I just got [censored] up the ass by a weird old man wearing welding goggles, a sherlock holmes hat, and a brown wool suit.
