Ok, this guys range is obviously QQ+ and AK. He's been quiet tonight and I have played with him befoore. I hate AJ in this spot because RIO hand vs his range. Is this ok to fold pre? I HATE HATE HATE minraises at LLSNL games, but can we fold pre, or call since he gives us odds to catchup? Also, if we fold to a simple minraise what does this do to our image? In game I called because I didn't want to seem exploitable, but not sure if I should even be calling since I am folding almost all flops.
BTW, nothing tilts me more than the minraise, particularly preflop...
A couple of thoughts:
If you want to protect your image you could 4 bet here keeping up your aggressive image, I don't know if flatting with AJ is good here. I also think he could be doing this with a hand like 88 - TT
The min raise preflop in my limited experience smells fishy...alot of "players" like to min raise with monsters to induce a raise...I agree it drives me nuts! Don't let it tilt you though my friend
