First off, i'm wondering whether or not it is better to raise this when im UTG looking for a flop? I've done both, but i've never clearly read what way is +ev in what situation. Play at this table was extremely loose, and this move(which i wouldn't have done a week ago) seemed right.
My second question comes on the river play. Considering the preflop raise, i felt either one of them could have a higher two pair with AJ, but is calling the right answer here?
Any input appreciated, thank you.
