With these kind of hands in SB or BB with a couple of limpers i like to make a nice big raise 7,8 or 9x BB basically enough to fold everyone out, which is usually what happens.

[/ QUOTE ] your goal for a preflop raise is to get it HU, not to get everyone to fold... I mean heck, if you have pocket aces, do you want everyone to fold ur raise? NO! it's the same mentality. you want villain to call your raise (extra cash) and then own him with your sexy postflop play.

Yeah with AA im never making this big a raise from SB or BB but that was not OP's example his example was AJo(which can be a troublesome hand OOP) which i never want to play HU OOP against villan who called my standard size raise.
Basically i like to take this one down PF and move on, as for sexy post flop play you raise this one 4xBB + 1 per limper (standard play in position of course) get two callers flop comes Axx or A10x you bet out get called or raised what do you do now?
