Okay, I’m posting this hand not because I want analysis on how I played it, but because I want analysis on the way UTG played it. We’ve been having quite a lively discussion about this hand since it happened last night (lively discussion means argument people) and UTG happens to be my fiancé. I’m not going to post my problem with the way he played the hand until later, I want to see what you guys think about it first. Come on guys, help us settle this disagreement so we can quite bickering about it.

Now, feel free to critique the way I played this hand (I was not happy about how big the pot got so quickly, but with Aces, I wasn’t folding and I wasn’t about to let the others draw at me for free). What I’m most interested in though is your thoughts on how UTG played his A,J, the pre-flop call and the eventual fold.
