Playing AJ in two spots

(1/4) > >>

Erimus:
First post in strategy section just wondered on peoples thoughts on these two hands.

Both hands are AJ off one is dtd 50k gteed, other is $55 fo on stars 10 off the money.
In both circumstances I was happy to go with both hands the way the tables had been playing.

I would like peoples thoughts on which strategy to take, push taking blinds and antes hopefully or raise to induce, as  I said I was intending to go all the way with the hands.

DTD blinds 300/150/a25

UTG I raise to 650 my standard raise I have 22 bigs (6k) get 4 callers flop comes down A high 2 diamonds, small blind checks pot is now over 3k so happy to get it in here, don't think AK or AQ out as I would have been reraised, I get 3 folds and 1 caller, villain shows Qd 7d, villain gets there on the river hits his flush.

Stars $10k gteed $55 buy in. (10 off cash)
On the button AJ off again 20 bigs (4k2) min raise to 400 bb who covers me shoves, I call he has KQ off Q on the flop and I am out.

Obviously being results orientated folds would have been better, but my question is do you just shove in both positions and put the decisions on the others, or do as I did in the examples above.

More info required on players trends if you are in possession Brian and

Im a nit and UTG would expect to fold this holding on a full table and wait for button or better position!

As it is you get in good in 1st scenario and 2nd scenario he"s calling whatever u do I guess

Far too much info missing here. At least post the hand historys.

First hand - did you shove 6k into a 3 k pot there or was there more action?

Second hand - not sure what is going on there but it seems you called a 3 bet shove from the BB for your tourney with AJ. This seems pretty standard. Though with reads you can raise fold. Open shoving the button isn"t the worst play either. All depends how much you want to min and how the table has been playing near the bubble.

Best advice is to learn how to post hand histories :)

Generally agree with ger
