When the river came and he went allin after a half second, i knew he was on AK, i could almost see through his cards, why didn't i fold, it was so obvious, and did i play this wrong, did i let him get the river too easy?

if you knew, then you should have folded. but thats a lot easier said then done, its tough to lay down 2 pair here, but sometimes you just have to suck it up and do it. better luck next time DJ

Personally, I don't like raising with AJ, as when you are called preflop, you really have no idea where you are - if you are at a 50/50, or are dominated (very few times will you be dominating). I say you should limp with this hand when you do play it, that way it will be easier to see the AK your opponent holds (since they should be raising with it).

Fault always lies in the same place, my fine babies: with him weak enough to lay blame.

the last hand was iffy i dont think a bigger raise wouldve got her out the hand she had top pair top kicker and prolly figured you to have aq and the pot odds were like 6:1 which a call is not to bad a play...she figures she has an a, k,k,k as outs and her current holding maybe good enough so not a bad play by her or by you i wouldve raised about 5 times her bet but either way same result..one

by da way aj is the devil

ya, aj and jj are two of the toughest hands to play

For future referencecould you put stack sizes in as it massively affects your decision making

1st hand I'd continuation bet on the flop here around 1/2 to 2/3 pot.

2nd hand is standard

3rd hand is unlucky. At the levels we play there are very fewpeople willing to lay down AK there.
