Calling big shove with AJs, I have questions.

[SuzdalDEcor]

Its easy fold rofl. Maximum its coin if you doing call. In the another situation you will be in domination. Full idiots pushitg the UTG-raisers with AT, A9, < hands XD

 

[karl coakley]

AJ is dominated by way too many hands to call off half my stack. That is a reason you don't raise with AJ that far out of position. Maybe that is a great way to think of it. If you want to raise UTG or +1,2,3 are you going to call off your stack with the hand.

Raise then fold could be a big hole in your game.

With my 52BB, I open AJs UTG+1. A middle position guy shoves his 28BB and everyone else folds back to me. I don't have a lot of info on the guy but it's the first time he does this. So I fold the AJs. My questions: Would you call here? If not, what are the ranges of hands you would call this shove with? Remember, we don't know the player. TY

Youre fold was correct. 28bb shove is extremely tight... Infact I dont think I would call with anything less than AA because that's probably what he has.. He has AA KK or AKs

 

[Samango]

Good fold with AJ

 

[SHAEH2012]

exellent fold...he had middle pair or A10 and up ...even if you beat the lowest hand A10... do you want to risk half your stack?

 

[brrrddz]

in early stage, probably i would call him. later maybe i need AK+, TT+

 

[tagece]

I would call a shove in this case only if I had a good read on him as a LAG player, opening with a large range. In the given situation I would fold too.

 

[yurok42]

With AJs has no place Colle at ICM will prsche calculate the odds of calling! But then we do not know your opponent so that the fold will not be wrong! My decision is!

 

[apeedgovi]

Definitely a fold here, unless he is a maniac raising anything. I would call with QQ+, maybe AKx nothing less. I would expect facing AK at least.

 

[Gabinho12345]

Good fold, you are coin flipping at best.

 

[Alex Kleinman]

aj is not the best idea lol. suited maybe....

 

[karl coakley]

Not a big fan of AJ UTG +1. I would expect with 28bb you are very likely behind. My general school of thought is if you are that early, don't open a hand you wouldn't call all your chips with at a full table. On the bubble or short handed may be different, but generally that is a very weak hand.

Easy fold.

 

[boomeranged]

Range what kind of hands a 28BB stack will shove with. All the hands in those range almost always beat AJs. Hence, it will never be a profitable call in the long run.

 

[AhiRaviv]

Great fold

a guy you have no info about, but rarely shoves will almost always mean a monster or a very strong hand.
I say the range would be AA, KK, QQ, AK, AQ.
I doubt he would shove with less than that due to the fact he rarely shoves.

I think it was nice and right fold. Especial if it was middle MTT stage.
What my range in this case? : AKs, KK+
What about JJ-QQ and AQs+ ? As for me this cards are easy dominated by K+ on the board.
So this situation show us that your chances to catch NUTS FLUSH, calling 1/2 your stack is quit small, and bank odds are very tight.

 

[sandund]

AJ is like AT, pretty much poor hand for all in.

 

[marcumx]

it's an instant fold for me even with AQ or AK. too many times when i started out would i get donked out calling flips with these hands. unless i'm in the money, i take my lumps and move on.

 

[Tech101205]

AJs is pretty easily a fold when faced with a shove that requires half of stack to call unless we have a read on opp that convince us to call
you need minimum QQ + or atleast AKs to call

 

[TheMagic]

I don´t think you can call at this spot. Since you had 52BB against 28BB villain, you don´t have enough equity. You can put the villain in ranges like : AK, AQ, lower pairs.

 

[the0]

Obviously fold anything worse than 88 here.

 

[smallfrie]

Considering the fact he shoved 28bb into an early pos raise from a stack that has him covered and the fact you have absolutely no reason to believe you are way ahead and you have no reason to want to flip for that many blinds if you are not totally crushed. It is a fold. I think his play with the shove of 28bb's is stupid regardless of what hand he has (nuts or garbage) and would keep that in mind when playing him.

 

[Chippyy]

I hate AJ as so many hands beat it. So no I wouldn't call in that situation. I would of folded if I were you as well. Easy fold at that. QQ+ to call imo

 

[kTactics]

Definitely fold!

In a tourney i would call with JJ-AK and if that happens in the last table i would call with QQ and higher only

 

[ivandrago]

Well, if hes low stack, or a loco. But no, instafold. Suit or not.
