@OP: What's "FCP?"

This is insanely weak-tight. MP1 is not early position, it's a mid position. If AJo is a raise UTG in virtually any game, certainly we can raise ATo from mid position here.

Flop is interesting; SB is probably betting the flop no matter what he has, so the question is if BB would raise less than top pair. If the BB was the pf 3bettor, the SB donked into him and the BB raised again, I'd say we have to fold, but with the action as given BB could very well have a draw or worse A given that he just called from the BB. And we have position on both of our opponents, making it easier to get away on the turn if it turns out that hero's hand is no good.

If I'm continuing in the hand at all, it's by calling this and reevaluating on the turn. Our hand won't benefit much from a "protection" reraise and my estimation of whether we're ahead has a lot to do with how SB reacts to the flop raise.
