Default AJs 360max

Limped from the ep. Raised on the flop to see where are we going and knew that they didnt limp in with AQ or AK. Only hands they could have were A3 or 33. Is this ok?

With the BB only at t20 its possible someone in the BB would only check an AQo there, since they know they will not get anyone out unless raising a huge amount. I would say Q3 is another possible hand. Most likely with that check raise he is going to have 33, A3, Q3 or the flush draw. Since he is shorter stacked at the table it does make this move with a flush draw much more likely. 400 is half of his stack, so if he calls he's basically pot committed. So he would want to push with a flush draw to make sure to see both cards and get more money in the pot.

The check would make me want to narrow it down to 33 or flush draw. I can't see slow playing A3 or Q3 here with two clubs on board.

Hard to get excited about one pair in a 7 way limped pot when everyone is deep. So by commiting yourself you are in fact praying that your opponent is braindeath/ on a draw.

To make it even worse a raise defines nothing cause if he was on flush draw he will put you all in anyway after he bet it UTG.

Id fold flop
