Default AJo UTG

Consider the table loose and passive, where a lot players cold call raises preflop with anything they'd play for one small bet. You have AJo:

Always raise. The worse the opponents, the more this is true. Bad opponents will call a raise with hands that are dominated or worse.

Default Re: AJo UTG

I'm assuming this poll is inspired by the recent handpost where this question came up.

As default I use the SSH loose pre-flop guide for EP and the tight guide for all the rest. By this method, the default play is raise.

An unsuited highcard hand plays best against few opponents a raise will accomplish this.

You have equity: raise. But don't get to attached, be ready to release w/ an unfavorable flop.

I'm curious what everyone here thinks. A lot us raise here because we love a big Ace. But more often than not I don't raise because: 1) I can't limit the field; 2) I want to see if I'm against a bigger Ace; 3) Keeping the pot small induces bigger mistakes on the flop and later streets.

Btw, I chose to vary my play. don't want to commit to always raising or always calling.

1) Even a better reason to raise if people will cold-call with inferior and even dominated hands than us.

2) Most of the times you're not. If you're 3-bet proceed with caution. I don't refuse to raise TT because I may face against a bigger pocket pair.

Interesting. To me TT is significantly stronger than AJo. If there's a raise right in front of me, I 3-bet with TT (talking about party .5/1 here).
