Folding AJo early from the cut off is NOT weak tight. tight yes...

Folding A9 from CO is tight, but not nitty (at least not at this level). AJ folding from CO is very nitty. Would you do it in a chash game?

Super nit earlly I believe is fine. maybe im wrong but I strongly disagree

You strongly disagree in winning poker.

I am in the fold AJoff boat. I don't think there is enough value in it at this level of blinds. I don't think you can raise enough at these blinds to push out set miners and most other random junk hands. And when an Ace or Jack flops, well neither you can be really really happy with. At these limits, i'm looking for a hand i'd be happy to get it in on a good flop with and AJ just isn't really that hand. Yes when you move up to the larger buy-in sngs AJ early in the tournament becomes pretty strong in the CO, but people will be less likely to start limping in early.

I think it's better to think in terms of risk/reward. If you only put a lot of chips in on a J high board, I think you are not taking an undue risk playing it.

You can, but you are then putting too much at risk imo.

You are kidding, surely? If I flop it jack high, I am fistpumping.

On a J73r flop, I am getting it in with AJ dancing a jig, dude.

You what? You are much less likely to be facing weaker aces.
