    Default Called a raise in pos AJs in pos flop is J high - now what?

    Ajs & KQs are losing money for me over the last 50k hands, I think because I had been 3betting them in pos & then overplaying
    tp without at least tk.
    In this situation there was a raise from 20/15 utg, co calls & I elected just to call otb with Ajs, flop is J high and pfr raiser cbets.

    (Oh and I play a 60bb stack when starting at a table - no crits on that please.)

    U most likely have the best hand here - so raise. I usually fold to a 3-bet, but here ur stack size may force u to call, especially if u have seen utg 3-bet bluff or been overly aggressive before.

    Fwiw i often 3-bet here pf (I'm running 19/14).

    with this stack size why not shove right here? you can't fold after you raise him on the flop can you?

    full stack I definitely play same as you Andy.

    why? is just bc of the caller or do you just like 3betting utg raisers with AJs?
    Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject. So you know you are getting the best possible information.

    Often, not always.
    Ofc u have to adjust to how much the pfr adjust his openingrange according to his position, but i think we often are good vs his range and additionally have FE. If he opens all pairs from utg (these will be a large chunk of his raising hands here) and (mistakenly) calls our rr just for setvalue, we can take down the pot with a cbet. The coldcaller brings more money in the pot which make taking down the pot pf quite sweet.
