Re: AJs

I have essentially forced him to outflop what I'm representing, which is big overpair or AK.

If you're reraising him with every decent hand you're dealt then you're no longer representing premium hands by reraising him. Or maybe you think you're still representing them, but he's not going to keep giving you credit. And this begs the question: If you're going to bluff, why waste a strong hand to do it with? Bluffing should be done in cases where it's the only way to win the hand. With AJs, you're bluffing out worse hands, and you're going to get stuck in a big pot with TPGK where you've made it tough for anything worse to stick around with you, yet you feel compelled to stick with your hand since the pot is big, you've got a reasonable hand, and your opponent is LAG. (So I guess it would be more accurate to say that you're not bluffing, you're simply overplaying your hand.)
