My 2p

I think AT is easily dominated and needs to be played with care, so I tend to only play it from MP3 or later and i'm raising limpers but folding to a raise before me.

FWIW I wouldn't limp it in EP and I wouldn't call a raise for sure. I'm not sure if this is correct (too tight maybe?) but it makes things easier for me and my puny poker skills.

In this hand villian only raised you a tiny bit so you've got to call based on the pot size I think, and hope this is frustration on his part with KK/JJ or something.

before. I'd never raise AT in early position, and limping from EP is even worse, specially unsuited. It's a terrible hand to play in a multiway pot out of position. Even from MP i'd only raise ATs and fold ATo.

Re: ATo - I never know what to do here
 

fold pre flop. that will save you the trouble.

[/ QUOTE ]I fold it both times. I also fold AJ here.
