OK, been playing the Party $10 2 table S&G....

Tell me what you think of my play here....

Stack sizes about equal at 1000 chips, player is loose and overvalues face cards.
Blinds are 10/20

Have AJo in LP - Once caller who limped in MP , I raise to 80, all fold to the limper who thinks for a sec and calls....The read I got was a KQ, JQ but no A - he would of raised.

Flop is 828 he checks to me and I bet the pot 180

He calls

Turn is a 2 ...now he leads out for 500 or so, I know he is full of it and reraise all in...he calls

Turns over a QJo - NICE for me until the damm Q on the river...

Agressive I know- But I had a good read on the guy - What you think?

Good read? I guess so. With the blinds being only 10/20 you havn't seen that many hands and a lot if players play loose when the blinds are small then tighten up as the blinds increase. I don't like this strategy BTW. I like to paly tight early and loosen up as the blinds are worth something.

Why didn't you think he had a pocket pair larger then 8 or pocket 8's or pocket 2's or A8 or A2, 89s? You had a good read but you risked your trn life on A high. If he had Ax it was a split which isn't worth risking your stack for.

Is AJo worth a 4X BB raise? Yes to isolate Mr. agressive. So that was a good play.

Betting the flop pot size with A high? I am not crazy about this move. Even fish get cards sometimes and the fact that he is limping and calling would make me want to slow down because so many Mr Aggressives like to bet big when they have crap and bet small when they have a real hand. It turned out he put you on a bluff and pushed all in on a bluff. You put him back on a bluff and called. He sucked out. Now you have a bad beat Party is rigged story.

IMO you both played to aggressive at the 10/20 level. Hope I am not being to harsh.
