This was on a $100+9 Stars s&g.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (5 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

SB (t1825)
BB (t4065)
Hero (t3235)
MP (t1155)
Button (t3220)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with J/images/graemlins/spade.gif, A/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t500</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises to t2150</font>, Hero folds.

Final Pot: t2725

What do you think, correct to fold or too tight?

You played it just right. Do you ever limp UTG to disguise your hand? This might be one of those times.

Not typically with AJ. Usually I try to have a stronger hand UTG if I limp as a disguise (AA, KK, AK, etc).

I will take a harder look at this option.

I would definitely fold here. The BB is putting way too many chips in to assume your hand is any good. Usually at best it's a coinflip against TT or 99.

I don't like limping UTG in a 5 handed game here, the chances of stealing the blinds are too high. I'd raise it to 400.
