AJ double barrell?

07.07.2012, 20:16 0

Hey Gerv!

I decided to Cbet this dry K high flop and then I went for double barrel AI after getting the flush draw. My opponent is much more passive so I don´t expect too many Ks. mosty I expect PPs here or missed flops.

Is this correct mindset?
Should I really double barrel??

Preflop, imo, is fine. AJ suited isn't the strongest hand but due to everyone folding/limp I think you're in position to raise it.

Flop bet was pretty big, I would've stuck to 1/2 pot at maximum. I would've only done it due to the fact you're in position to cbet.

Again, turn was a big bet and you still hadn't hit, I definitely would've bet 1/2 pot max again - to keep up your aggressive image.

River, obvious shove, but of course you were AI by then.

I agree with this because it is congruent with what is expected of us to play MSS accordingly

I do not like this play, i just give up. Why caring about ''image'' when people are not paying attention to you but instead are drinking beer and having some fun on the poker tables?

Furthermore it is blatantly obvious your opponent has a King >65% of the time for sure so betting here is not a good idea

Best regards,
Gerv
