AJs in SB?

[Ralph Wiggum]

Looking for SB PF help w/ suited high cards. My question is whether or not it's worth raising AJs in the SB? Especially when it's multi-handed, I was thinking it would be profitable. Since Abdul recommends raising w/ A4s (or some low AXs) from LP if you have a lot of limpers. I think the following hand is an example where I would want to raise PF. And alos, would I still want to raise if it was only 2 limpers? How about if I had KQs?

I threw in a hand, just in case you can't picture the scenario I'm referring to.

AJs is an auto raise from any-position. Especially with a lot of limpers. This is not only because there is a good chace that your hand is best right now, but also to punish the countless Ax limpers.

KQs shoukd be raised also.

AJs, RAISE! KQs, RAISE!

It is difficult for me to imagine MP2 playing this hand worse without folding.

Suited, I raise this from any position. I think you can safely fold the turn, so good.
