Why A5s is better than AJ0 - GTO Wizard

[JOAOSEVERINO11]

Guys do you know, why A5s is better than AJ0 in this spot ?

Maybe it's all-in for image. So that everyone can see this garbage at the showdown and later call your value raises ))))

More equity as suited and has the wheel draw.

Not sure I'm bluffing off my stack with though as I suspect most BB 4bets are alot tighter than the solver assumes.

A5s doesn't block the pair of jacks, so villain could have JJ. But with AJ it's less likely that he have JJ.

A5s não bloqueia o par de valetes, então o vilão pode ter JJ. Mas com AJ é menos provável que ele tenha JJ.

I understand that at this point the BB should open 4-bet only with premium hands, it is unlikely that he would try to steal the pot by bluffing

this is just the example you chose as an example, so if you choose another example, it will be different, and if you have this particular example, then the flash options there are a reason

It's very simple: since already invested 12BB, it is profitable to call due to pot odds with certain hands. So, AJo hand is not included in the list of these hands, because heavily dominated: if a jack comes, you will lose with top pair with top kicker to hands AA/KK/QQ/JJ, and if an ace comes, you will lose with top pair to hands AK and maybe sometimes to AQs.

And if you call with A5s, then there is a chance to win if a good board comes, and if an ace comes and your opponent bets actively, then you will just fold and not lose too much.

I'll just say my guess, maybe because more combinations are possible with A5s)

Thanks BelFish, your reading helped me understand this hand better. I will lose less blinds, thank you very much.

There shows what to do with the whole range preflop depending on the action from the opponents, i.e. how to play each hand of the range...
