Like others, this is a hand that I question often. As played by me, I usually limp as the OP did in EP with AJo. On the flop I would lead with a bet. I don't see how going for the C/R really protects your hand, except against someone with a weaker Jack. Anyone with a 10 or a 4-flush will have the odds to call 2 cold, and other random hands are way behind making any bets they call better for you in the long run. So C/R seems to blow those that are way behind out of the pot and gives those with drawing hands more reason to call if a blank does come on the turn and they face only 1 bet from you or get a free card from a blown second c/r attempt on the turn.

Anyhow, those are my thoughts and I'm also interested in the flaws with my thinking.
