Nice hand.

IIRC, a LONG time ago we had a discussion where I talked about checking AJo in the BB vs 6 limpers, and you said that since I had a PF pokerstove edge I should push it now. I said that I was commonly going to have to fold before the river and thus checking was correct, as my "actualized WTSD" was less than my pokerstove equity.

You say NH here, so I assume you mean the preflop too (I like the postflop personally).

OOC, why do you like the raise? I mean, I know you're good, so you're probably right, but if it's okay, I'd like to hear it. I'll take a guess:

Although our WTSD will be lower than our PFE (preflop equity), we're going to, more commonly than not, have opportunities to make +EV decisions postflop and allow our opponents to make -EV decisions. Because of the post-flop side of things making this a +EV hand, we should consider raising now.

I mean, this is probably as close as I can get to the correct answer right now. Any help is appreciated.
