Definite fold and I don't think it's even close. Think about what he's likely to have, and not just your equity if you saw all five cards right now without betting, but how the betting will go when you're ahead and when you're behind (big reverse implied odds). You may occassionally win a small pot, but you'll lose many more small pots and some big pots. Easy fold. Debateable raise if you're not comfy post flop.

That's two people in a row who don't like the original raise. If you're not raising AJ form late position when it's folded to you then you may be a little weak-tight. Remember you're not just raising to win the blinds, you're also trying to narrow the hands you're up against.

Bah. I think it was curtains who said that people just love to throw around the term "weak-tight" nowadays. It's true. Folding this is not weak-tight at all. I'm not saying I fold it, but deciding to do so isn't a big deal. It's a margnial situation that you can afford to passon, if you are not comfortable post flop, which I said originally. I don't want to sound like a jack-off, but if you're considering calling this raise preflop, chances are you don't know how to play this hand that well postflop. Hence, my advice for the OP would be to fold pf.
