Did i play this hand correctly?

Postby asdfman » Mon Jan 31, 2005 10:38 pm

blinds are at 10/20
MP3 (t1020)
Hero (t1015)
Button (t1310)
SB (t955)
BB (t1340)
UTG (t490)
UTG+1 (t965)
UTG+2 (t990)
MP1 (t790)
MP2 (t1125)

Preflop AJh UTG+2 Calls BB MP1 raises to 75 2 fold, Hero reraises to 130, 3 fold, UTG+2 calls 110, MP1 calls 55

Flop is 3h 8c Th. MP1 bets 420, Hero raises to 840, UTG+2 folds

Turn and river are blanks. He shows QQ to take it down.

Did i play this correctly? I think i might have been stupid and just hit the wrong end of the coinflip at the wrong time.

asdfman, first off, you should be folding AJ here rather than reraising with it. It doesn't match up very well against many of the hands that people raise with. Second, when you do have a hand worth reraising, don't min raise -- you need to charge people more to call.

On the flop, your hand is a slight dog to most of the hands your opponent holds here. He raised it preflop, and now he's betting out again despite the fact that you reraised him. His most likely holdings are AA-TT. Even if he has AK or AQ, he's still a favorite.

Moving in might be a good play if you had any folding equity. But your opponent's bet on the flop has made him pot committed -- the pot would be so large compared to what he has left that he'll have to call you. The fact that he raised, and then led out also indicates that he doesn't want to fold here. Since you've got a healthy stack compared to the blinds, you're probably a slight dog, and the pot odds aren't giving a good overlay, this is a fold.

Bottom line -- it's too early yet to make big moves with AJ. Certainly you can consider raising with it if no one else has, but if someone else is showing aggression, then throw it in the muck.

I agree with both Norton and Rhound. Fold AJ to a raise pre flop every time here.
