I generally think defending the SB against a late position raise calls for a 3-bet-or-fold strategy; as you want it HU in most cases. AJ is strong enough to 3-bet here. I think cold-calling is often quite bad, but I guess it depends on the BB's tendencies, the CO's tendencies, and the table/game texture.

Right ok, I agree I think it's an almost always 3-bet. Maybe it was because it was a tournament that a call was warranted.

Sklansky's gap concept is being utilized here by the AJo, I believe. You need a much better hand to call than to open in a tourney.

What I would like to know is the relative blind size and antes here, how many players, to obtain a better understanding of the play of the hand.

In a cash game I raise that bad boy from the small blind.
