How to play A-J

[badia232323]

A-J is easier to play than A-Q. With this hand you have to raise all the time, if someone reraise behind you, you have to fold immediately.
If someone raise before you, you have to call at any position, and than after the flop you decide what to do depending of the bets coming from your opponents.
If your A-J are suited, this is a very strong hand, you must to play it very agressively before the flop, even go all-in before the flop.
One of the problems of this hand is if an A comes in the flop, you should be carefal in this case, even opt for check-call, because if you bet and someone reraise you it will be very hard to take a decision...

A-J is easier to play than A-Q..

It only means that you tend to overestimate A-Q's hand. Their draw is no different. I’ll tell you a secret, even an A-K hand is the same.

When AJ comes i fold it instantly

You wanna hit trips of J, and leave room for top pair like Q & K.

That's a terrible advice for the 'learning poker' section...
it is never a good idea to make 'rules' on how to Play certain hands. If you Play AJ 100 times, it is 100 times a different set up. so you can't say "you have to do this and that and Always do XY with AJ (or any other Hand)"
Maybe it's easier for you to Play, but for the majority of the community, AQ is the better Hand and should be easier to Play ^^


and why open with AJ and the Intention to fold to any 3bet?
