7 handed, you have a good stack.. theres 2 shorties that might wanna gambool, and AJs aint too shabby. in a 10.. im still learning, and might possibly fold. in a 109, i make it 250 most of the time. holla

I would raise 300-400, sometimes just call. Depends on how loose the table is.

AJ's good against raggy Aces and a coinflip to low pocket pairs. If someone else goes all in, I don't want to be committed with this hand.

I like my stack size and ability to steal. I don't want to jeopardize a good position with a marginal play.

I call UTG and call an all in from the shorties, but not the medium or big stacks.

You're in pretty good shape and don't need the blinds, so unless you're adapt at playing AJ oop I'd fold.

I like no logo's line, limp and call an allin from a short stack, fold to any other raise. Unless you've been limp/folding often, you should get HU against the BB often enough to make this worthwhile. Plus, often a short stack will push with any ace here to pick up your "dead" money.

While marginal in some situations, I really think AJs is too strong a hand 7-handed to fold.

I probably make it 300-350 and see what happens. You may be called only by a short stack - no more damage can be done. Or only by one of the blinds in which case you won't be OOP post-flop.

[Uppercut]

I raise this to 300 and only fold preflop to a reraise from a large stack. I call the all-in from one of the short-stacks. If someone smoothcalls my raise, then I lead out on the flop with a continuation bet and hope to God that they fold then. (Unless I flop AAJ). [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I wouldnt have a problem folding this as you are comfortable, but a call would also be fine. However, just to avoid letting the blinds use rags, I'd raise 200-250

Heres the options ...

1. Fold. Too weak of an option. What are you waiting for if your going to fold AJs 7 handed? Awfly weak-tight IMO.
2. Raise to 300. Not bad. But now youve already committed 20-25% of your stack pre-flop, and you cant use the Stop N Go on the flop. Most likley you will be called in 2-3 spots, and be in some trouble. I think this option is out.
3. All-in. This was my initial thought -- but now that I think about it --- is it worse risking your entire stack (1300 chips) to pick up 150 in blinds? Your not even increasing your stack by 10%. Big risk for a small reward.
4. Limping. This is my option. Youll still have 12X BB after the limp, plenty of room to manuever. If you are an experienced post-flop player, you shouldnt have a problem.
