Even if it is just a battle of the blinds. I guess this hand comes up a lot but take into account that villain is the sb and raised 4x bb preflop. Your move? Would you have raised more on the flop? Villain just sat down so no reads yet.

Fnord is an unknown quantity at this point

No way you fold here and the min raise sucks too.

This is one of the best flops you could of asked for with AJ. If you aren't going to call here then just fold AJ to a small blind raise.

Dealer: bencathers has two pair, Aces and Deuces
Dealer: Tbags has two pair, Kings and Jacks
Dealer: Tbags finished the tournament in 256th place
Tbags [observer]: another scumbag gets there on this site lol

...or just call the flop and see how determined he is to steal your blind *chuckle*.

In hindsight a raise to about $100 would have been better and then fold to a reraise AI? He led out betting the pot on the flop so I knew his hand was strong. I think table talk coerced me into calling here, but I guess from your discussion there's no way I'm getting away from tptk when its battle of the blinds. I thought this was a bad call, but from the sounds of what you guys have to say its +EV?

: calls $170.90 and is all-in
*** TURN *** [2d Js 7d] [:Kh:]
*** RIVER *** [2d Js 7d Kh] [

]
*** SHOW DOWN ***
Eddie H: shows [Ac As] (a pair of Aces)
andr3w321: mucks hand
tiger5 said, "haaaaaa"
Eddie H collected $482.80 from pot
andr3w321 said, "yeah"
*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot $485.80 | Rake $3
Board [2d Js 7d Kh 6s]
Seat 1: Fullblast (button) folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 2: Eddie H (small blind) showed [Ac As] and won ($482.80) with a pair of Aces
Seat 3: andr3w321 (big blind) mucked [Jc Ad]
Seat 4: tiger5 folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 5: BHAfan folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 6: MatchLeader folded before Flop (didn't bet)
