well it ahs been a good 15 minutes, i have had a toke and thought about this hand for a good while, and I'm interested in some feedback on it. I joined a .25 .50 PLholdem table in which i knew 4 of the 9 players in detail and was fairly confident in my game. 20 hands in and I have a stack of around 45.00, I bought in for 25. I'm holding AJoff 1 off the big blind. I max raise and get 4 way action.

Flop AJ10 two spades. SB checks, I bet out the max a little over 9 I believe. mid position lets 5 seconds run off their time bank and calls. fold fold. I start going through the hands he coujld have, i was most worried about 99 and being behind or AK and getting sucked out but I was fairly sure my AJ was good, I thought he may also be drawing to flush.

The turn comes the deuce of clubs. i bet out 25. He waits a few seconds and re-raises me all in.

I only had 9 left so it was an easy call with top 2 and a seemingly blank on the turn. The river brings a 7 and I still feel good about the AJ, i figure if hes got the set of 9's im paying him off anyway.

he's holding 22.

my question is still this, can I get away from top two here?

should I have checked the turn?

I feel like I am the one who played this poorly but I havent figured out why yet.

**on a disgusting sidenote I have busted out of 6 MTT's since saturday where I lost to 22, 5 of the six it was all in preflop 2xAA 1xKK 1010 & AK and the other was AK on an AK2 flop. to add insult to injury, before I joined this PLhold'em game 22 knocked me out of a 5 sng on an unraised flop of 8910 im in BB holding 67, i check raise 22 all in he calls, turn 2 river 8.

should my strategy now be when there is a 2 on board to fold?

I guess I am confused as to why you were afraid of 9-9?

he said he thought he had 99 for a set so im guessing the flop was AJ9 not AJT

I have no idea why you feel you should have been able to get away from it on the turn.

you got sucked out on by a player that had no business calling that flop bet. He was probably thinkin': "There's 2 more cards to come, anything could happen.."


Bad Beat. w00t

yeah it was AJ9 i believe although i forget now, but it must have been.

heres one that just happened, I raised 5 pre flop, AK goes all in, !0J calls right away as do I. I know i cannot get away from this hand, i just posted it here because id idnt feel the need to start another thread but the beat is pretty funny
