1/2 PP, your game is loose passive, with preflop raises maybe 20% of the hands. You limp, or just muck? It doesn't seem to matter much.. In a loose aggressive game I might just muck. I used to muck AJo but now I'll play it, sometimes raise UTG. Some tigther players will simply cold-call with AK, and when you flop an ace he simply calls you down and you're very surprised to see AK. But if you knew he was weak-tight to begin with...

Anyway, PT tells me that over 7.7k hands, I've gotten ATo more than or equal to 6 seats off the button, not in a blind with at least 8 players at the table 13 times, and I've lost $4.50 total with it, with a win % of 23.08. So this discussion is almost pointless. But hey.....

ATs in same situation 8 times, net $8.25
AJs in same situation 4 times, net $16.50
AJo in same situation 5 times, net -$1.75

Wow, you need to play a lot of hands to get an idea /images/graemlins/smile.gif

If the pfr% is really 20... I muck from UTG with ATo.

Personally, I'll muck ATo in EP. I know some people like to play it, but not me. It's a hard one to handle OOP with TPMK or something like that. I'll limp along in MP, but I won't open a pot with ATo until MP3 - and then, I openraise.

AJo I raise in EP. Every time.
