I’m not sure I follow. You’re saying you want to 3-barrel bluff with AJ? Seems like you’re wasting a lot of showdown value to do that as a default play. Or are you talking about 3-barrel it for value? Cuz that seems awfully thin too, on this board.

I realize this relates to the broader issue of whether to “balance” in any live game (at least one that is not all regulars). I find myself having a hard time keeping my three-barrel range reasonably wide, and it seems like these pair+fd hands should be in there some. If check these to widen my flop-checking range, I lose it for three-barrel balancing.

Pretty sure that Andrew’s point isn’t that good things won’t happen if you bet, but rather that AsJs is the ideal candidate for a hand to help fix Hero’s glaring problem of having too few flush draws in his flop-checking range. You can tinker with the situation so that AsJs gets a little better to bet, but that’s not going to make the problem of constructing a checking range go away.

I had a question about checking back ajss on this flop. I think it’s pretty situation dependent. For instance lets say you raise AJss on btn and BB calls. I would think that you would want to be betting this flop since he has many worse fd’s in his range. He can also have like q10 k10 qj a10 in this spot as well that you are getting value from with a flop bet.
Thanks
