It's close, but I'd call - you're getting more than 10:1 on your call, and it's hard to be 90% sure he has a diamond, even though it sure does look like it.

LAG I call that. Most everybody likes to semibluff/bet on hands like that on the flop when they're drawing to even a weak diamond, so him coming alive on the river seems weak to me given your read.

I'd call the LAG. And if he did indeed river me, I'd just remind myself that he is merely watching my chips for me for a few minutes.

A definite crying call against one opponent. I see people bluff this type of hand heads up at low levels all the time. The pot is big enough. If you call and lose, you lost a bet. If you fold and your opponent is bluffing, you lost a nice pot. Big mistake.

Even though UTG+1 is loose, isn't reraising AJo too loose?

reraising PF with this AJo against a LAG: I might do the same assuming the right table conditions. Like in this instance, everyone is now looking at calling 3 bets pre-flop cold so you'll probably knock out all the other garbage. I realize this is micros but if there is any possibility of reducing this to a three-way or HU situation against the LAG with position on him , I'd do it. You're almost sure to have the better hand than the LAG at this point and you are capable of folding to a bet at the flop if you completely miss or it's too scary.

I think it is okay at 1/2. At .25/.50 and .50/1 it's probably questionable because you have more fishahs there who will call 3 cold.
