Default AJ in small blind against a hooligan TAG on the button

Button is 29.76/13.10. Being in the small blind I think I should have reraised more to $4. Should I be leading this flop? How much? I assume $4? What happens if we get called are we c/f a bricked turn? Are we going to try and bluff a turn spade?

Button ($17.80)
Hero ($22.85)
BB ($25)
UTG ($36.50)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Hero posts a blind of $0.10.

I don't like raising from the blinds with AJo. Makes it very hard to play post flop. As played I'd probably c-bet for 3/4 pot, and if called I'd shut down.

$4.5 is a good number here

I wouldn't r/r AJo in the SB.

Just call since you're playing OOP.

C-bet for 2/3 pot.

C/f turn.

Hero was betting preflop because this is 4-handed and villain has been abusing the button. Given that preflop is perfectly fine. IMO a raise to 4 makes it pretty obvious we don't have a very strong hand, so I'd make it 3 or at most 3.5. I'd bet something like 4-5 on the flop.
