(10+1) Am I being too weak with these hands?
Just curious I am more familiar with late game play and I am trying to open up in the early game to gain some chips.

I don't mind hand 1, probably fold hand 2 pf.

Grunching...
1. Good fold IMO 2. Raise pre-flop to 60-80. Fold to a re-raise. |

Hand 1: I like your play fine.
Hand 2: I also like to limp AJo from this spot at this blind level, but with the intention of calling a 3-5xBB raise. This gives me "more" information (imho) than opening with a raise and being called by 1-2 callers. And I don't mind a large multi-way pot with that hand either (unlike if I hold AA-QQ). |

Sure, you have more information if you are raised, but to me that information is saying I don’t have the best hand and I should fold. Hand 1: I play it like you did. Hand 2: Sometimes I limp, sometimes I fold. Fold to the re-raise. Edit: Hand 2: I thought here was LP in this hand, being MP2 I fold every time. |

i defintiely don't raise AJo from MP2 in level 1. i think limp fold is fine, if not just fold.

Hand 1 is good, hand 2 fold preflop.

Harrington on Hold'em vol 1
"In 3rd position... I'd play AJ with a mixture of 70% raises and 30% calls. In 4th position I'd play AJ the same way..." and he describes this as a conservative opening strategy. |
