i'd have to say call. if villain knows what he's doing hes pushing AQ and AK preflop here, and if he doesnt know what hes doing he'll do this with just about any ace in my experience.

AJs good enough to raise? I`m thinking of all the times we are behind when called.

I bet t350 on the flop
I don`t like it, but we got a nice prize on our money..I lean toward a fold, but not sure.

Is AJs good enough to raise from CO+1??? You're kidding right? IT is one thing to be tight early on; but come on..

The blinds (esp bb in this case) are going to be calling with a lot here.

This hand is very interesting as this comes up a lot. Does it just look like a squeeze with a flush draw or does he have a hand like A9..

Against unknown, I'm making the crying call..

Odds are really not easy to grasp rapidly when you are covered.

Here it seems I have close to 2.5 : 1 for my call so I probably have to call this.

I didn't and neither did SB so we didn't get to see his hand.

When we decide to raise, we must plan to call on a flop like this. I agree after all.

There are plenty hands you can beat , pot odds are really good, if he has slowplayed AK oop or flopped set -two pair - well hes luck, can't imagine folding this after all the betting done, especially against unknown guy. Flush draws and weaker aces are definately in hes range.
