Default Re: AJ, 7 handed, big blinds, facing EP raiser (Party $11)

This is a tough one, I don't think it's totally clear cut, simply because of the size of his raise, if it was 400-450 I'd like it a whole lot more, because that's just the kind of "raise with crap to try to steal the blinds, never mind it's 30% of my stack" move these donks make at this stage, and you'd be likely ahead of whatever he had (KQ, KJ, KT and lower aces aren't unusual). But here, I think you have more room for a little wiggling yet, because there's no real big stack. It depends on reads on MP1, has he got out of line before, is he a maniac, etc? You'll have plenty of stealing opportunities later when you can be first in, the very next hand, or the one when the current MP2, and even CO are in the BB for instance. I think I err towards a fold here, but I hate it.

Also you have to look that he has a healthy stack of 10BB and is putting half of it behind his hand, so he obviously likes it a lot. I can't see this being a steal, to be honest.
