Personally i think curt is being abit nitty with only playing jj+ from cutoff, i'd personally add 77+ and ak/aq to that, maybe its because im abit of a loose player and curts on the tighter side. Don't see what some of the 'regs' are moaning about, they'd end up 20bob down more than me in this hand with they're loose open and my correct fold.
1) I assume anyone saying open fold an Ace and a Jack is levelling. Nh, wp.
2) I have a lot of history with the villain. Assuming you have little and are treating him like a random your line is pretty much fine. I agree with Beaneh about sizing on the turn, but only by 50p or so. River easy call. Back to the flop, I'm not sure how much I like raising v unknown. Yes the flush draw is going to be out there a bit with that donk lead but I'm not raising to fold. I'm not completely sure how much I like our chances versus an unknown 3bet range on the flop.
I cannot believe how this thread keeps jumping to the top of the forum. I hadn't bothered commenting because it seemed so straightforward but all it takes to draw out half of the community is for someone to say "Fold AJ pre-flop"... sigh...
After thinking about this hand for the last few hours, I've had a chnge of mind, I think there is value to be raising pre, however when you make it 3x you are only going to get called by better so you should just min-raise, if he 3bets you it's a great spot to turn your hand into a bluff and Shove as he will fold QQ and even KK (If he's not a fish) as you are repping AA really well.

We shouldn't min raise pre as this will get called by little fishies with bad hands cause they getting them gud odds. We shouldn't make it too much more though maybe 9 or 10x so we get them blinds added onto our stack. Not sure why you want to turn our hand into a bluff if we get 3 bet? We have AJ so we want to get it in pre against QQ or KK as we can smack that A and stack em!

With history, well, I do things different.

maybe just flat w/AJ in the co
