aj bb oop

[ed cooper]

not particularly impressed how i played this hand, but not exactly sure where i went wrong.

wouldnt normally get involved with aj, but both opponents were weak, calling lots. the raiser had previously given me a lot of chips overplaying 89. not sure how to treat his min-raise.

I think you are better off re-raising PF here, squeezing MP2 and playing IP against a bad player. Min bets like this usually indicate a mediocre hand that doesn't want to limp. Expect high implied odds from hitting an A as well.

thanks nak.

i dont disagree but by raising i have a chance of being squeezed myself. ie the mp2 limper goes over me and the sb goes over him.
this doesnt bother you?

I don't think it would come that far. You're thinking too afraid. Im not please with a re-raise here, even if they are donks. Because they play like they do, i don't think a reraise would do much help. If you meet any resistance you are in trouble, if u miss the flop you are in trouble. I guess it wasnt too bad to call the minraise, wouldnt recommend a reraise
