Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

Play hand

$0.02/$0.05 No-Limit Hold'em (5 handed)

Known players:
[tg]CO (Hero)$10.37:///////;BU$6.32:///////;SB$8.78:///////;BB$4.00:///////;MP3$9.28:///////;[/tg]

Preflop: Hero is CO with A:h, J:h.
MP3 folds, Hero raises to $0.20, 3 folds, 2 folds, BU calls $0.20BB folds.

Flop: ($0.47) A:c, 6:s, 8:h (1 players)
Hero bets $0.30, BU calls $0.30

Turn: ($1.07) J:c (1 players)
Hero bets $0.80,BU raises to $3.47 Hero folds, Hero gets uncalled bet back.

Final Pot: $0.57.

There was something wrong when i converted the hand. So i wrote what actually happened :P So i make a standard raise with AJs from mp. Bu calls and the flop gives me TP3rdkicker so i bet for value. Villain calls my bet and the turn gives me top two pair. So i bet again and villain makes a BIG bet. I think for a while and fold.

To me this looks so much like a set. Calling a dry flop which couldnt have helped him much. The Jack on the turn completes no str8draws nor any other draws. Also since i have AJ i find it very unlikely that he has any weaker ace.

He actually showed me the pockes sixes when i folded so I feel this time it was a good laydown but is it a good one in general?

Hello RainbowPonny,

Definitely the laydown is very good just for the given reason you wrote yourself, he will just in most cases have a lot stronger hand there, and likely a set, such a play usually is a set play. Only reason why we could be able to Call is that we are against a maniac or something similar, and we had the stats for it.

Best regards.
