Default NL200 6m - Playing AJ for stacks

Villain on the button is loose preflop, something like 45/10, and seems somewhat aggressive. Hero has $194 and Villain covers. Preflop raisor in this hand is shortstacked ($74) and raises light.

PokerStars 6-max Blinds $1/$2

Hero is dealt A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] in the BB. UTG folds. UTG+1 raises to $6. Villain calls $6 from the button. SB folds. Hero calls $4.

Flop ($19): 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Hero checks. UTG+1 bets $12. Villain calls $12. Hero raises to $68. UTG+1 folds. Villain pushes all-in. Hero has $120 left. Hero?

<font color="blue">The bet from the PF raisor feels very weak. Betting not even 2/3 pot on this A high flop with a flush draw. Villain's call doesn't feel strong either since he should want to protect most hands that hit this flop. So I decide to raise enough to put shortstack all-in and make button pay if he's on a draw.

UTG+1 folds as expected but now button goes all-in. WTF? I put him on either a draw or a set. Can't see him having a better A here since he definitely would have raised the flop, and maybe also reraised preflop.

Call or fold?
