What's your reaction to AJ

[arshuns]

It's not the strongest hand. Therefore, we need to focus on the cards on the table.

Well, whenever the board pairs.. You know it's trouble unless you own a pair.

you're at the final table and the flop comes JKA, and the turn K.
wath do you do

Proceed with caution. Definitely not gonna bet or raise and make the pot bigger. In this scenario, where the flop is AKJ, turn K, it is very likely your opponent will have at least a set of kings or even better. It depends on the stack sizes, position, pre flop betting, image, etc ...
Apart from that scenario, I play AJ semi-aggressively - prefer to min raise preflop and check or small c-bet on the flop assessing the situation.
It is one of those hands that it's neither premium strong nor weak hand, so it is tricky to play.

You've gotta know all the stack sizes , payout levels , preflop action etc before answering . But in general, beware !

 

[alabos]

I chek and expect as on the river lolllll or the other player has no king lolll

Due to a lot of negative results, most time I try to check the flop with AJ. It is a quite good starting hand, but a very risky if an A comes on the flop because an AQ or AK can easily win against you.

[jcxmendes]

I don't think we're going much into the game, but always analyzing the villain

 

[AKampie]

I will bet 2/3 pot

It depends who are you playing against.
What are the blinds, is AJ suited and so on....
I would say it is a descent hand, yet I would prefer AK 😄
