NL100 - AJ UTGvBB

Hi.

I would just bet and double barrel. While that board is draw heavy, your OESD is strong enough to fire twice on most cards.

And villain is loose and bad, meaning that he'll have stuff like K6s most likely in his calling range.

Ok, and vs a good reg just check?

And as played?

vs regs i'll bet anyway

this runout is good so i think calling down is fine

I agree with farma here, I don't think cbetting is the best play here. This board totally smacks BB's range and we will get ch/r'ed a ton. So I would check back most of my SD-value as well.

your Flop betting range needs some semi-bluffs in them. Surely you are not suggesting only betting value hands here?

Also, AJ has hardly any SD value, given starting positions. Or were you suggesting that you'll check back a hand like AT?

No, not that extreme. But I do think that with these positions and this board, we should have less bluffs than in our average cbetting-range.

Yes. I would only bet straights/sets/2p here for value. And as bluffs I'd prefer AQ.

I actually didn't check villain stats/reads, vs fishy player I would bet a lot more, but I was talking about strategy vs good regulars. What do you think?

certainly reducing my bluffing frequency - I agree with you on that but I'll still bet AJ here. Of course checking back AJ from time to time is fine.

if you think villain is just going ape shit on you everytime you bet here, then you have a really easy bet/call with AT here.

Agree w mbml, even that this board hard hit BB range, betting some bluffs is still reasonable if we want to play at least a little bit balanced. And because the discussion is about playing against good reg, I assume that you want to play this way
