How to play AJo
Playing it before the flop
Open from under the gun onward. AJo wins 63.7% against a random hand on high-card strength alone, but without a suit it cannot make a flush, and that missing possibility is worth more than it looks.
Facing a 3-bet
Tighten up. Offsuit broadways are exactly the hands a 3-betting range dominates, you are often drawing to three outs against the hand that raised you. Continue with the top of the group and let the rest go.
After the flop
Top pair with a good kicker is the usual outcome, and it is worth one or two streets rather than three. AJo improves on very few turns, so the plan should be to win a medium pot, not to build a large one.
AJo questions
How often does AJo win?
AJo wins 63.7% of the time against a single random hand, 62.6% outright, with a 2.1% chance of splitting the pot. That makes it the 15th strongest of the 169 starting hands.
Should I raise with AJo?
Yes, from under the gun onward in a six-handed game. Earlier than that there are too many players still to act for the hand to be profitable as an open.
How many combinations of AJo are there?
There are 12 combinations of Ace-Jack offsuit, which is 0.9% of the 1,326 possible starting hands. Every offsuit hand has twelve.
How does AJo hold up against several opponents?
Against eight opponents its equity falls to 16.1%. Every extra player reduces the share, but a hand that makes the nuts loses less of it than a hand that only makes a pair.
