$15 turbo push check

Just checking this push- I'm assuming AJ is good enough to push into 1 limper and the blinds, right?

Well, from a <mini-hijack>similar thread</mini-hijack> I posted earlier, some folks disagreed in a comparable situation with ATo. But I still think you're way ahead of a standard limping range, unless your reads indicate otherwise. I'd push.

It's a different situation. The limper hasn't invested that much in this situation (he invested 1/5 of his stack in your case). I push here.

This definitely seems like a push/fold situation. I almost always push AQ+, 99+ here, and easily fold AT and below. AJ is right on the borderline, but I push unless I know the villain is capable of limping something that crushes you, or if I've been pushing a lot lately. You'll often get called by weaker aces and small pairs, neither of which bothers you.
