200NL live: play along with the nl noob, AJo

[TripleH68]

Brand new to table. Hero's fourth hand dealt.
Seems like typical 1-2 blinds, lots of limping.

First limper has biggest stack. Short read is a loose player who doesn't like to fold. Can't tell yet whether he is lag, but likely a calling station/trapper who is hot tonight.

Player in hijack is thinking player. Likely to be the most aggressive at the table. I figure he plays online and is at least semi-regular at the room. He has over $300.

Button and blinds seem like average players.

Hero is dealt AJo in CO with $180 stack.

Preflop(8 players): fold,limp,limp,limp,<font color="red">Hero ? </font>

<font color="blue">Some discussion on preflop would be great. Is this an easy raise and why? How much?
And how would you respond to a new player raising this preflop with position on you?
I had just flopped a draw from the button and ditched it to a big turn bet, only hand I played.</font>
