AJo in SB - PS .02/.04

I'd just check call the river. When CO caps the turn he is saying that he has trip jacks beat.

Rest is good.

I play it the same. I dont see any need to raise AJo preflop from the SB against a lot of loose limpers, as you will be OOP after the flop.

Looking back in leisure, I'm thinking bet/call, but in the heat of the moment after he caps me on the turn probably just the call.

You have it backward, bet/calling a brick river into a turn cap is something people do all the time in the heat of the moment but almost always turns out to be wrong. There is no reason whatsoever to bet this river.

AJ is not a very good hand and often dominated. But I guess its worth calling one raise if you are SB. So in this siutation I would raise it up once. It makes it less vulnerable. I would try a C/r on the flop, there are 6 players so its likely that someone will bet. It looks like villain has set of Ts or 6s. So much aggression tells you something. Call the raise on the turn and check on the river.
