Preflop:
This might be a bad choice actually. The truth is I do not know. I just thought that since there are 2 fish on the table, one of whom is OOP this is not the worst openraise. It probably is not a good choice though. I do not know.

Postflop:
A cbet on the flop is probably the best choice but what to do on the turn? Our opponent called a UTG openraise and a flop cBet in a 4way pot – that should show some strength at least. I wouldn't like check/calling two streets but Maybe checking and hoping for a free showdown or a small bet is a better option than just simply betting the turn?

Hello Avatars91,

We definitely have to Bet the turn for protection and no other way to play it. I don't really like to turn my hand into bluff-catcher in those spots. Nice hand!

Best Regards.

Do you agree with the preflop openraise?

Depends a lot on many factors:
a) your preflop/postflop awareness
b) what kind of opponents we have on table
c) do you think they are capable of calling with a lot worse Jx/Kx hands?

Although I would practically advice myself not to open from UTG and at first play with AJo profitable and then adjust your range accordingly. KJs might be a open-raise.
