When he bets the river, should I assume that he caught K and is betting? Should i reriase him on the river? DOes the possibility of the straight on the board keep me from raising the river, for fear that he caught his straight? |

why no raise pre flop?
Bet the pot on the flop, too many draws out wth that many players in - which would not be the case had you raised pre flop. If someone plays back they are likely on a draw and you proceed from there, you assume AQ AK would have raised. If someone has Ax and made two pair... should have raised pre flop!
After the flop I guess you tried to play the hand cheaply, which is probably the way to go at that point. |

| THeres no raise preflop, becuase AJo early in an SNG isnt a very good hand. I dont want to play a huge pot with AJo. I play weak tight with my AJo early on. They arent a very good hand early in an SNG. |

| I bet turn and value bet river. people play those weak aces all the time and you usually have the best hand. |

| You definately should have bet the turn. betting the turn and not getting raised is a good sign. Even most bad players can reason that their straight is hurting with a double flush draw now on the board and will fight back. without a flush card dropping on the river I think you have a good enough hand and should value bet and fold to any aggression. but since you did check I would still call here. I like the pot and the str8 aint scary enough. |

Agree, but tossing in a 4x raise here doen't make this a huge pot - it would have been a smallish pot that I think you would have won on the flop. |

Your also hardcore out of position for the rest of the hand. You raise to isolate or to build a pot, which are you trying to do here? Your not going to get isolation most of the time, your hand is way to weak to raise for value. I think your biggest problem with this hand is not betting the turn.

Hardly the case at this level... |

| I like a pot-sized raise on the flop instead of the 1/2, of course, just from this hand I get the impression that this table was fairly loose so you probably wouldn't get different information from a different sized bet. That bet on the end just looks weak to me, though you said yourself that you don't want to play a big pot with the hand, so I'd just call. The straight is worrisome as is freak 2 pair. |

| UTG I fold AJo, but on the big blind because I'm playing it I'm raising it. AJo is not a hand you want to play without information. |
