High blinds AJo UTG 6 handed

[lowBoy]

Opp was in desperate push/fold mode (as were most people at this time), saw him push quite a few hands in the past orbit.

Raise less, or push?
Do you call his AI?

[Khabbi]

I'd call it.

Trust your read. Theres enough ways you're ahead here to call, and you'll be getting about 2-1.

[vqc]

open push next time. especially if ur even going to consider calling someone elses all in.

[Alibi]

Very good point VQC. If you're unsure of your hand's strength, pushing may cause Opp to fold preflop, and prevents him from doing stuff like this which may make you fold your hand.

[Trikflow77]

gotta push that hand preflop...........10bb rule. Vq nailed it.

[aislephive]

If you fold then you're in really bad shape with the rising blinds. You must call here.

I think that you can be certain, that you are behind at this point. I think that hands like 77+, AQ+ will play this way. And against that range, your hand sucks. AJ is a real sucky hand, IMO.

FWIW, if you plan to go to showdown with this hand, meaning that you wuold call a reraise, then you should just push first. Otherwise, either raise an amount you don't mind getting away from, or just fold.

Anyhow, now you have to consider pot odds, and against 77-TT, it's an easy call, against JJ+, AQ+, it's a fold. This situation really really sucks, is all I can say. I'm sure most would call here. I have not thought about this often enough to say what I feel is 'right.'
