Default Re: AJ vs minraise

KK or QQ is much more likely than AA -- there are 24 possible KK or QQ hands left, and only 6 possible AA hands (since you've taken one of the As). Given that you have him covered by 1600 chips, I think it's worth taking a risk here. Call the bet. Push if an Ace hits the flop, or 2 jacks, or KQT, etc.

I was thinking that you had the odds to push preflop, but I don't think you do. It would cost you 700 chips to put the button all in. 700 chips to win 1650 chips is about 2.2:1; Most hands that would bet like this have you beat by more than that (AA, KK, QQ).
