how can i play this differently

What has this opponent frequently raised with? If he has consistently shown down AK or AQ when raising, I would be a little worried about this hand.

Instead of check-raising all-in here, I put out a bet about 2/3 the size of the pot here and see what his reaction is. If he comes back over the top I'm worried about AK, AQ, or a set.

AJ is a troublesome hand, and when someone raises preflop and you are behind them, you are definately looking for a Jack-high flop.
