OK, I'm sick of busting out in these MTT.

Well if you add the times where you go all in on non-paintish boards, you might have enough equity here to call.

Your play was fine, but I raise or fold the AJ

After much frustration with AQ I wouldn't even limp with it in your position, AJ is that many degrees worse. It simply plays horribly postflop especially multi-way, and each street usually makes it worse. You can rarely get aggressive with it. If you want to raise it then fine, try to isolate the EP limper (who probably has the 77 you limped with later) and go from there, but don't limp with it.

That of course led to all the other problems because now you don't have enough chips to play properly. With 1000 chips you can easily call the raise with 77, and although you don't have set odds in the hand you played, there are a lot of times your 77 will win unimproved to factor in.

I raise with it in this situation. Folding is ok too.

In a cash game I don't play AQo early either much less AJ. But in these touny's I feel as if I should at least be trying to see flops since quality hands don't come up often enough to compensate for rapidly increasing blinds.
