Default Re: Played correctly?

Well one of the reasons I didnt raise here was because I may not have the best hand (although MOST ppl raise with ace anything at this low level sometimes people just don't know enough to raise with their ace queens and ace kings. So i wanted to see a flop. In my mind there are 2 reasons to raise preflop. 1) To knock ppl out with mediocre hands and 2) to build a pot. AJ, isn’t a great hand in a multiway pot and seeing as how at this level .50 will not knock anyone off their hand (especially since ppl already have money in and we all know ppl that have already called will almost never fold to a raise in limit) so I figured id see the flop and go from there. In this specific situation I think the call preflop works better because 1) if I raise he either puts me on 2 over cards or an over pair. So I figure the pot will either be stolen from me with 2 overcards because when the lower cards hit the flop hes pretty sure I didn’t hit my hand or if he puts me on an over pair I get no more action and he folds. Just a thought.
