AJs against early raise

[rubixstreub]

Everyone at this tight table minraises or limps, I give him credit for a strong hand, even though it looks weak.

Insta push or call and look for a move? I can never decide when I've got 9-10 BB against a raise with this kind of hand.

Seat 1: streubie [AD,JD] ($1,865 in chips)
Seat 4: rprice2832 ($1,944 in chips)
Seat 6: Spiderman919 ($3,100 in chips)
Seat 7: buck choy ($3,442 in chips)
Seat 8: gunners 13 ($1,095 in chips)
Seat 10: tjsmooth ($3,554 in chips)

I'd say he has position and chips on you... so I'd just push. Unless you plan to call and push the flop or something. Me, I'm simple, I just push my hand preflop and figure I'm in a race if he calls.

either stop n go or push, if you give him credit for a strong hand stop n go probably has a better chance of getting a fold imo

You dont close the action preflop so the stop and go is kinda iffy.

You need to re-reaise to 800 at least as you don't want to let the BB into the hand with a fair amount of money behind. Pushing isn't a bad idea either.

If it went raise/call then I push on that flop every time.

Sorry, thought they were in big blind, had just got up and read it wrong. I wouldn't stop n go from here. Reraise/push.

You've got like 6 sets of blinds, and they're probably going up soon. You're in the middle of the pack. AJ is not premium, but it's strong enough to push with. There's also an argument for folding it, but I think calling off 20 percent of your stack is silly at this point. Either push it or muck it. Given your description of the tight table, I lean towards the old push and pray tactic here.

I would raise allin. If I wasn't the short stack then I would probably raise it to 800-1000.
