    Default Play this hand

    Okay I'm just curious how you guys would play this, other than PF I eliminated my move (although if you figure out the BB's you can get an idea of the play anyway but whatever ) What do you do on each street where the questions are in blue and if you'd like to explain why feel free? I'm curious how others would play this, I'll post the whole thing later.

    PF I'd raise (or reraise any moderate raise) to about 4 or 5 times the BB.

    I at least bet the pot on the flop checked to me - maybe even overbet. And then I'm shocked when four people call.

    I'd call, maybe even do a minimum reraise here to find out where I stand. AJ is weak with this board - every out to improve your hand improves draw hands and flopped sets even more. There are too many people in this pot at the turn, probably a drawer or two (who probably hit) and likely some schmuck who limped in with JJ, QQ, KK or AA.

    I'm folding the river. Too many cards out there to makes straights, too many in the hand.

    My bet is SB has AA or KK, MP3 has 89.

    ^^Its limit.


    The preflop raise is fine. You knocked out the BB and another player so I dont see anything wrong with it.

    Bet the flop. You have a safe board and this is a bet for value with TPTK. No flush draw and a low probability of a straight coming.

    Raise turn. If no one bet the flop then the SB may just be doing a probe bet. He hasnt shown any strength yet.

    You let the straight hit, you may as well fold. Had you played this as I wrote the straight may have been gone already, if not youd have an idea. Against 2 players I assume that one made the straight, particularly on the raise.

    Whoops, sorry, too early on a monday for me I guess.

    Limit, yeah, max on the flop. Raise the turn and see if he reraises. I'm folding if he does. Might be a weak move and you might have the best hand at this point but obviously the hand is getting great pot and implied odds and you're on the short end of the drawing stick. It will cost alot of money to defend this against five players; if it were only two or one player I'd hang but odds are someone is going to hit a second pair, straight, or full house I'm thinking.

    Call or fold the river - depends how shady the players are. I stopped playing limit awhile ago so I can't even really give any good advice other than I do know that it would not like playing that hand in NL - if you call that advice.

    I still say it was a limped big pockets or 89. Maybe a JT would act like that, too.

    i say at a game like .1/.2 people will call down anything and aj isnt that great of a hand worth raising after 3 people limped before you, they won't fold and AJ is still just a drawing hand. I personally wouldnt have raised but I dont see a problem in it. on the flop you had to raise. turn you raise again. on the river its bet and re raised. I think u could've folded but if it hurts ur curoiusity...just call. But you know deep down inside your beat.

    Agree with PJ. With 2 betting and raising, TPTK is no longer the best hand.

    Okay here's the full hand...... I was just curious if I overplaying or trying to protect this hand too much, but so far the majority have a similar way they'd play it. I didin't think my hand was good any longer either.
