I would bet around $15-$20 on the turn...everyone looks very weak and you have a lot of outs to a disguised hand.

ya he showed AJ. i think i played it ok. but thats a good rule of thumb about playing J or better flushes a bit more aggressively for 10 man tables.

Wait a minute. They mini-raise AJ in EP at these stakes, too? Bets $2 into a $23 pot? Checks the turn like a little girl, then goes bananas when he rivers his two pair against the possible flush he allowed to come? What, this guy get lost on his way to the cheap seats? Yikes, what crappy poker.
