I still think i am a pansy.

Should i be pushing this river?

Or betting more..

i'm not a big fan of the check/minraise preflop as it sets up nothing. maybe betting 3/4 the whole way is good

[Pelion]

there isnt enough in the pot to push. I think he will fold most hands there unless he has a set. I bet closer to pot on the river. Hell call with a strong A and he isnt calling anymore with the straight or flush draw anyway. I think this is one of those situations where he'll either call a pot sized bet or fold to any bet.

Fold pre-flop.

Bet his stack on the river.

Aside from the UTG limp id do the same thing.

[Muxy]

folding AJo ? UTG,

What about a raise.

[Lukie]

9-handed NLHE ring holding AJo UTG? Fold.

folding AJo ? UTG,

What about a raise.

Because (mostly) anything that calls you here will have you playing catch-up from the get-go.


EDIT: Yeah yeah, the UTG-raise looks powerful and all...but I say find a better spot.

[Pingviini]

UTG raise with AJo is bad because only/mostly stronger A's are calling and weaker folding.

I hate the min CR on flop, betting whole way at these stakes gets more money in the pot. or you can bet the flop and CR the turn and then go AI or bet strong on river, depends on the stacks and the reads.

If you want to f around from UTG, 46s is a much better hand than AJo.
