Message: [QUOTE="300HPGOD, post: 6338153, member: 305911"] I would 3 bet this spot somewhat often especially being on the button but the opener being UTG would make me think about that. Also if you are correct that this player is a 4 bettor then I would have to ask myself do I want to play in a 4 bet pot with only AJ even though it is suited? I personally lean towards no so from what you are writing that this is the villain type and that this is an UTG opener (even though they are 40/40) I would just call as you did. On the flop it again goes to your read that villain may fold here. There are players who you could play against and know they never fold here (or rarely fold as I should never say never) where we could put a raise in to sweeten the pot and make sure we have an easier time getting it in (you never mentioned effective stacks or if you did I missed it). I think calling is good though as we fear nothing on the turn and we feel this villain will keep coming at us so to me this should just be a call in this spot. Plus when we call here we give a chance for small blind to come along as well which at this point with our big draw we would want them to be in the hand. On the turn nothing changes really except another ace wheel card hits which could be in a 40/40 players UTG opening range but it wouldnt scare me. There are enough times too where we are up against a better Ax as you mention so I like calling here as well. River is not the best card in my opinion as now the most likely aces from villain are higher Axs like A9+ and now all of those beat us except AJ which we chop with. However, we thought villain was aggro, they played this hand like we thought they would and getting 3 to 1 I think you have to call this off. There will be times they got there on the river or we were up against AQ or AK the whole time but thats life sometimes. So river seems like a call to me but I am not fist pumping about it at this point. To answer your raise question, I think this is a hand where like always, its villain dependent. If we dont feel villain is a barreler or aggressive then I think you could value raise the flop but you still dont have to. Even if we are checked to on the turn we are in position and have either the turn or river to make another value bet. [/QUOTE]
