Default PREFLOP: When you have AJ in the BB...

nl200 6max
6 players
All stacks are 100bb deep.

Folded around to the button who raises for 3.5x the bb. You have AJo in the BB, do you fold, call or reraise?

I mostly reraise, maybe 80:20 reraise to call. But it depends a lot on who button is, sometimes I will even muck.

RR/fold. I don't like calling as much. 70:20:10 in RR/fold/call.

Stats on villain? Against most, I reraise.

Call is silly methinks.

Fold/Reraise X%/Y% depending on reads/stats/history.

damn...
I thought it was a pretty easy auto-muck. I hate you Jam. Now let's pretend that you aren't running supernova hot.

seriously, why do you reraise? To take down the pot? Or because people 3-bet so much these days that the villain is likely to call you much weaker?

What about the [censored] reverse implied odds?

WOW! I'm amazed how many people reraise. What the logic...

1) To take down the pot preflop.

2) Villain will call you with much weaker hands because everyone 3-bets these days?

3) What's your plan when the Villain calls.
A) A high board?
B) 8 high board, no draws?
