LOUD NOISES

dont post results

pf.....meh
flop....in a reraised pot, with 100bbs, idk, i guess igo broke. THis spot really sucks tho cause you see QQ-AA a lot of the time.

You typically shouldn't get in habit of 3betting tagswho raise utg with AJo, because its a hand that is usually dominated by a tags calling range. If you do raise, at least make it a proper 3x to 6, i make it 7 tho

IMO, pf, fold>call>raise, only because you have position

Can some of the good players elaborate on whether they prefer threebetting something like 98s in position rather than AJ? I don't like AJ because it gets you in shitty spots like this.

PF is gross with reads

AJ is a lot worse than you expect. If you flop an A92 rainbow, you are behind AA,AK, AQ, A9,A2, 99, and 22. You also have so many tht will call with Ax that could put you behind any A that still pairs the turn and the river. On a non paired board with an A, just against a Ax hand, AJ is ranked 7th out of 13. You are beat by AA, AK, AQ, any four A's that pair the board. AJ sucks.

I agree completly that Aj sucks but this hand wasnt babout the cards it was about position

also this player was raiseing alot of KJ KQ A3s over the past 20 hands, he was "changing" gears from rock to lag.

I usually fold preflop - given that the guy raised UTG I give him something like AT+, KQ, 88+ maybe even tighter. Not worth it with AJ really. Against a wider range 3 betting AJ is fine of course.

As played, with TPTK in a reraised pot we have to stack off here IMO.
