It depends on the player. If he is supper aggro, i call and let him build his own grave. If not I raise here to start building a pot against an most players and hope i get re-raised. I think its close but based on the flush draws i lean towards reraising most times except against a supperaggro who will build the pot for me anyway....

Looks good. My default is to raise here. Either he's got a hand he wants to go with or he doesn't. Would need a player-specific reason to not raise (basically if he bluffs or folds too much I'd just call).

This sounds kinda strange, but I'd fold to the preflop reraise. ATo and AJo are about the worst two hands to be played back with, because barring ANY flop (except this or J Q K) are terrible money burners.

With almost any 2 which I'd bestealing with I'd flop it out here, but fold pf next time, the immediate odds are attractive, as is position, but thats pretty much all thats a positive.

I'm willing to be convinced otherwise, and I get played back alot (shorthanded) but I still maintain this thinking...

I don't think it sounds that strange, I fold it, too.

Calling re-raises with offsuit big cards, against good players, seems like complete chip spewing to me. Even min-raises. AK and sometimes AQ being the exceptions.

If they were suited, or if they were little cards, I would call, though.
