AJo means trouble

Even if it is just a battle of the blinds. I guess this hand comes up a lot but take into account that villain is the sb and raised 4x bb preflop. Your move? Would you have raised more on the flop? Villain just sat down so no reads yet.

No way you fold here and the min raise sucks too.

This is one of the best flops you could of asked for with AJ. If you aren't going to call here then just fold AJ to a small blind raise.

...or just call the flop and see how determined he is to steal your blind *chuckle*.

Wtf though queens trips??

Am i wrong fnord?

[andr3w321]

In hindsight a raise to about $100 would have been better and then fold to a reraise AI? He led out betting the pot on the flop so I knew his hand was strong. I think table talk coerced me into calling here, but I guess from your discussion there's no way I'm getting away from tptk when its battle of the blinds. I thought this was a bad call, but from the sounds of what you guys have to say its +EV?

: calls $170.90 and is all-in
