Some folks are missing the huge implied odds involved here. If you pair your ace and nothing else you obviously have to tread carefully. But if you hit two pair or a flush draw, this may be your chance to double up.

Well worth the call.

I have a problem with the "call because of huge implied odds arguement". Your arguement is to call with AJs, hoping to flop two pair or a flush draw, trusting that you will play carefully and not get in trouble if just an ace or jack flops.

If this is the case, then are you also calling with A3s? You can play this the same way as AJs, hoping to flop two pair or a flush draw. In fact this hand is better, because an A3 two pair is better disguised than an AJ two pair, and less vulnerable to straights.

Or how about 97s? Two pair, flush draw, and straight draw.

Or how about 65s?

Are you really going to be calling UTG raises, even if they are miniraises, with weak suited aces, suited two-gappers, or small suited connectors? Or is the secret reason that you are calling with AJs is because you are somewhat seduced by the pretty high cards?

And if you are being seduced by the high cards, then you are certainly risking more than t30.
