Do you call this? or fold?

OK, played at the Trop this weekend at 1/2 NL.

middle position guy raise pre flop to $15 with AJs. everyone folds to small blind who moves all in for a total of about $60. Costs initial raiser $45 to call. Note, small blind had just lost his whole bankroll a couple hands ago moving all in with KK up against someone with AA.

So initial raiser calls and shows his AJs and all in guy shows QQ. long story short, Ace comes on the flop and wins. The guy with QQ is fuming saying how the F*** do you call with AJs.

Would you guys have called? I think I would have called too based on his previous play.

With AJs, I would not have raised to $15 in the first place, that would have made folding much easier.

This is an easy fold. Probably posted in the wrong forum, but easy fold IMO.

tell the QQ guy that in order to call with AJs you put the money in the pot and let the dealer do his/her thing.

I don't know about AJs's decision to call, but a very simple decision is for QQ not to whine about it. This is the kind of hand you want to get called by.
