The statistical sample is low on villain, just 93 hands.

Absolution, I use the Tight Game chart in SSHE. Early position, Against A Raise, AJs is there.

Okay then, but I still fold this except against LAGs that I will raise and I would possibly call on really loose tables.

Yep, was just saying, but I do agree with you now, and I know that those charts only get you so far, you need to tailor them to circumstances and to players, as in this case.

93 is probably enough to know your in trouble. I have a very hard time thinking SSHE suggests cold calling an utg raise next in with AJs.

Maybe I'm misreading the chart - it does say Against A Raise but does that excluse raises before you? i.e. it only applies if you've limped and the raiser is behind you?

If so... oops.

The SSH charts definitely recommend cold-calling a raiser with AJs. Remember that those were written for looser games (a bygone time, mostly).

The statistical sample is enough to push me to a fold.

No no, if it's in the chart as 'against a raise', then you followed the chart fine since it's for your first action. If you limp and there is a raiser behind you or if you cold call and get 3bet behind you, I can't think of a situation where I'm folding for one more. In the posted hand, you're getting over 8:1 on calling 1 more back to you. Folding there is so very, very wrong.

Your right even in the tight game chart(3-5 players) it says to cold call with this. Wow.

Grunch...

You played this hand all backwards. Don't cold-call first in pre-flop. Fold that flop, you're drawing to 3-outs at best.

I disagree with only 3 outs on the flop. BDSD, BDFD 3 outs, ace 1.5 outs, jack 0.5 outs. You can peel the flop. Turn is more WA/WB and we can see the river for 1BB.

*grunch*

If the sample size for the stats is large enough that the 3.2% raise is significant, I would fold AJs against UTG. I would then fold the flop. The pot is laying 10:1, but giving yourself 4 outs is a stretch.
