Raise or fold preflop. I play flop and turn the same and bet/call river.

I raise PF 99% of the time. The 1% that I don't, it's a misclick.Does anyone want to c/c the river?

I want to b/f it. My guess is that he has a weaker J then you. He either rivered a 2 pair or he didn't. I think this is a good spot for a b/f.

PF: playing AJ, suited or not, UTG is fine but as stated i would have raised. Depending on the table however...i don't believe it is mandatory that you come in for a raise with the unsuited variety.Flop: Looks goodTurn: Good as well."what if i get raised?" If you get raised on the turn with this fairly dry board after you 3 bet the flop, then you are probably in trouble and i would just try to get to SD with your hand. You would either be against the same hand as yours, a set, or possibly someone that limped with Ah7h, which would be the only hand you were ahead of.River: Unless your opponents are quite predictable, I don't really like the b/f on the end with a hand as strong as yours in an already 7bb pot. I would rather b/c and be extremely unhappy about having to call a raise on the end...but i would call it anyway.

Yes, the raise is mandatory. Big cards wants to thin the field Limping is is playing it like a drawing hand. What are you drawing to with 3-gap connected big cards? Raise it to push out crap, and give your A high a chance.I didn't even look at the rest of the hand. In my opinion, raising changes everything.
