OK to be this agressive early in a 20+2?

I don't really like the raise though behind the mp1 limper, I just do not think AJs is a strong enough hand to due that from such an early position. If I did decide to raise though I'd bump it to 400 instead of 300. I of course call the raise though.

Not a bad move post flop, as long as he doesn't have AA you have quite a few outs on him however I suspect that he had AA or KK due to his small raise preflop and the small raise on the flop.

yea i need to remember to see who is limping etc. It was just a bang bang play that I need to think through more. I did put him on QQ-AA
