j/k... sounds like you played well, but your hands didn't hold up when they needed to.
I'm not sure that's possible... you probably mean the blinds were 15/30 maybe?
Let me try to translate this.
Blinds 150/300. You have 2K. You have AJ suited in SB.
A player moves in pre-flop for about the same stack as yours. Folded to you, and it's your decision.
Well... if you think the guy's on tilt, you should call. However, I think you mentioned that he's a good player. Good players know that even after they get crippled, they're not out until they're out. So, this reduces the tilt factor.
It's a close decision, IMO. What makes it particularly close is that you are in the SB, which means you're just about to see another round of cards for free--I'm assuming there is no ante. Other determining factors are the average stack sizes of the other players. It seems to me that one guy (with 20K+) might have most of the chips, which would mean that all of the rest of you would be in similar predicaments, at about 6 or 7 times the BB.
AJ is a good hand to raise with, but not a good hand to call with. I laid down AJ suited in the BB to an UTG raise on Monday with 4 players left in a tournament, and was told I would have been up against AQ. Of course, who knows if this is true. The reasoning with AJ is that there are a lot of hands that people would raise with that can beat you, badly. (AA, KK, QQ, JJ, AK, AQ.) There are a few that you are ahead of, but they are usually unlikely (KQ, AT, KJ). And you're about 50/50 with any pocket pair TT or smaller. You were lucky in that you happened to call when you were actually ahead (and obviously unlucky when you lost).
Personally, I might be able to find it in me to fold this hand. If I had a big stack, it's an easy call. If I had the same stack as you, or smaller, and I was about to pay the blinds, I'd probably move in with it, or call an all-in. But since you're about to be the button against opponents who are presumably playing very tight to try and win a seat, you might find that your chips would be put to better use with a late-position steal or two, or you might actually pick up a good hand to raise with... like AJ.
A couple of other factors... were the blinds just about to go up? And again, with so few players left, did you think there was a good chance that most of your opponents would tighten up considerably, giving you an opportunity to steal a little more liberally?
I probably call and take off the flop. It's only 5% of your stack for a chance at a BIG hand.
I fold this hand. When the chips are deep I am very quiet with A-K. Don't want to get deeply involved with a drawing hand. That having been said, you call was great. You got a ton of chips in the middle as a 3-1 favourite. That's what NL players dream of.
Easy call for AQs. But the alarm is going "danger danger"
I fold too.
I probably fold. I have a full lap to look for another hand. But again, you made the right play and got it all in as a 3-1 favourite.
Looks to me like you played well. Close one.
Good playing.
Look forward to the next one in April.Again thx for the input guys!
Good luck.
