I think people get results orientated.

Just cos you lost the hand on this occasion doesn"t mean that AJ utg is a fold.

And the problem with that is...?   I am focussed on my results - I like to win. Is that bad?   :o

I think he means you"re using hindsight to justify the decisions.

but my point is that I would fold that every time because I am focussed on results....

I consider it to be a generally -EV move. Any flat call behind me leaves me not knowing where I am, and means I just have to bet the flop regardless.... and with 20xBB before the hand, the standard raise preflop, and a half pot c-bet is going to have commited half my stack... therefore the raise pf out of position is going to land me in trouble and donk chips away more often than it will succeed.

AJ is such a marginal hand - I would never play it so far out of position at a full table..... not in the first hand when holding 200xBB, nor when deep in the money.

If that makes me "results oriented" then so be it.

Jon MW:
In which case the original comment about playing too tight comes into play.

Poker is a situational game
So if you are saying that you would never ever play AJ from an early position then you are going to be missing out on opportunities to acquire chips - a very tight table being the prime example, especially if you have also been playing tight for a while.
