Good lord. I'm assuming this is a solid read? If so you probably have no business raising AJs UTG. If you've got that kind of maniac you don't want to be playing speculative and easily dominated hands -- you want a hand where you'll know for certain where you are on the flop. A hand like AKo will hit TPTK about 1/3rd of the time, and with that you'll be happy to go to war. With AJs you're going to flop TP3K or TPTK with scare cards or even an underpair, and your war could be frightening.
There's no sin in open-limping if the table conditions are right. Against this guy I'm probably going to want to see many speculative hands but I'm going to be folding the vast majority of them on the flop. When I connect, I'm going to extract mucho value from this guy.
