Would a pre-flop raise make this AJ profitable from the SB?
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (6 handed) converter
Button (t670) Hero (t975) BB (t2415) UTG (t1260) MP (t825) CO (t1855) Preflop: Hero is SB with J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. UTG calls t30, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, Hero completes, BB checks. Flop: (t90) T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> Hero checks, BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets t75</font>, Hero calls t75, BB folds. Preflop- After looking at this again I want to raise 2xBB and make it 90 to go. Im thinking it helps me define my hand. Flop- A 1/2 the pot size bet is only giving the Flush draw 3to1 which is not enough to chase. I might run into the set or 2 pair in which case I can fold and move on. Do you think that a 1/2 to 2/3 size bet could take down this pot?

I think you're getting a bit too fancy here. Your opponents suck too much in general to make good laydowns. Don't expect them to, and make good laydowns yourself. Complete PF, check/fold the flop.
Don't make poker complicated when it doesn't have to be.

Last chance do you think I could have taken this hand had I raised PF?
I probably should have let this go on the flop but I called the bet anyway. This is probably a leak. The 7c came on the turn and the villain raised 150. I folded

AJo is definitely not strong enough to raise with in this spot preflop. I would just complete, and check/fold most flops. Also, the call on the flop is bad--just fold.

Re: Would a pre-flop raise make this AJ profitable from the SB?
In fact, I would not even raise with AQo preflop here. You're going to miss most of the time anyway, why raise out of position with a marginal hand early on?
Although it MAY allow your opponent to outflop you, completing with AJ, or AQ for that matter, is a nice move here. It disguises your hand, which almost always outkicks a limper that limps with any ace.
