Ace Jack on the button

I se that theres some debate on the best play preflop here. As I said, I easily fold AJos to a 3x BB raise early. With your stack and the blinds still low, you had no need to make a move anytime soon. At this point in the tourney you're looking to win big hands and avoid trouble spots that may cost you big pots. What type of hand could you possibly envision him having hat is likely to result in you win? Ace-rag? Yet I can envision a ton of hands )AQ, AK, QQ, KK, or AA) that could put you in a huge touble spot. Avoid situations like these by folding preflop, and don't use the fact that this guy has beeen playing loosely as an excuse for you to make marginal calls. Patience. Its early in the tourney, and you have tons of time to trap this guy late on.
