AJ against PF raiser, flatcall or fold?

Hi all... Assuming a TAG preflop raiser in MP. You are BTN with AJo, no callers. Do you fold or call?

Is there any reason to 3bet this? For example; He's been stealing your button from MP because CO is very tight?

Edit: I'd like to make a poll out of this, but don't know how exactly...

I fold most times.. I don't like screwing around with AJo in a raised pot even with position usually. Now if he's something like 25/19.. I'll 3 bet it about 50/50, guess it all depends on your definition of TAG

Am I entirely nitty for folding this against a 25/15?

I didn't mean TAG or not... I wanted to indicate he's not a maniac and a lot of his range will dominate me, although I might have two overs against a large part of his range I have a hard time making any money if I catch my cards. Against the rest of his range I might be dominated. I just feel like a nit to fold AJ to a raise [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]. AQ I'd flatcall and play cautiously, but AJ goes straight to the muck...

no.. I wouldn't fault anyone for folding it every time in a raised pot.. it's hard to play.

Yes, I fold AJ against a TAG preflop raiser. I don't see any value in calling. I rather play 78s or something like that. If you want to play it, I'd 3-bet it.

If I want to play? If I'd 3bet it would be, because I feel he'll give up with a large part of his range and I can take it down. He'll most likely fold or push to a 3bet...

Yes, that is what I meant.
