AJo preflop
For all those who say you should only limp with AJo...
Generally, AJo is a "raise or fold" hand preflop. I raise with EP, MP, and LP, if the pot hasn't yet been raised. If the pot is raised in front of me, it's a fold. The only time I limp with AJo is when there are several limpers in ahead of me... then raising with this hand doesn't serve much purpose as you're only building a multi-way pot with a hand that doesn't play well multi-way. (NOTE: The above discussion does not consider AJo from the blinds.) Adam

Re: AJ in small stakes limit
You have to raise it anywhere if you are opening the pot. Among other justifications, raising gives the other players a reason to fold their weaker K’s and Q’s. This helps improve your chances of winning the pot.

I went back and checked SSHE. I stand corrected. Damn bumped my head. Thanks for the course correction. [/ QUOTE ] Actually, what I said was contradictory to SSH. SSH says to limp with AJo in EP. A lot of players here raise, though. Adam

Re: AJo preflop
Hmm, curious
#73 - Big Off-Suit Broadway cards, "You can open with these cards from any position. Raise any of these hands if it hasn't already been raised." There's a "consideration" footnote about coming in after 5 or 6 limpers. #80 - Tight games MP w no raise in front. #82 - Loose Games w no raise in front EP, MP

Re: AJ in small stakes limit
The opening raise part has been argued out (I'm getting a little tired of people saying you have to limp with AJo in EP, but anyway), and your fold is also good, as others nted. I believe this is straight out of SSHE. P. 86, call if it is two bets back to you with a pocket pair, but fold hands like AJo (it is the example hand) if it is two back. The problem with it is you are almost certainly behind a bigger pair or better A. You may well be with the 8's too, but then you have odds to flop a set and give yourself a strong hand, whereas you can flop an A or J and not be sure where you are with AJ. Perfectly played.
