Unorthodox move in a live game

Unorthodox, but it's a tough hand to play. Why not make a standard raise to get rid of Ax and KJ, and go from there? Caveat: I'm weak-tight live.

Why would I want to get rid of Ax and KJ? I'm beating both those hands.

It seems that this kind of raise might just get called by a huge stack looking for an easy gamble at 80 bucks, and AJ with a huge stack might just make that call.

Fantastic; AJ calling here is +EV for me (slightly +EV, but the $3 in blinds doesn't give AJ the necessary overlay to take the wrong side of a 55/45 propositon).

I say standard raise to define your opposition, see the flop in position, and go from there.

My standard with this hand would be to raise, take a flop, and play it from there. The odd all-in overbet here came just because I happened to pick up a good hand right after my comment about how I should push all-in since nobody else was willing to.
