I don't like a lot of things in HoH2 (like a LOT of them) so it's not a particularly good book to bring up, but actually, this hand is far closer to the first example in that book than the second. He's raising to over a third of his stack, and more importantly, calling is a quarter of yours.

Also, what Harrington doesn't say/consider is that when your opponent is a clown doing this with AJ, you don't see an A or K one in three times; you see it around one in four. That wrecks your odds pretty badly even when your implied odds rise to compensate (they don't always).

that's what i don't like about calling this out of position. if your AK high is best, he can easily take you off the hand unless you have a super read.
