Apparently it's an EZ fold. I would love to have you in my game. I just 3bet every open you make and you only call me with nutted pre flop hands while I print money every other hand you open. Maybe a better answer is don't open AJo at all if you are going to fold to a 3bet.
4betting is probably a good start and a MUCH better over all strategy but we are probably too deep to do that with AJo imo. I think I kinda like it though and it will put him in a tough spot if he doesn't have KK or AA which he doesn't have here all that often.
Being that you said you sometimes fold AJo UTG instead of opening, are you saying you call/raise with your entire range against a button 3 bet?
Because that sounds kind of silly against a player who (lol) is 3 betting wider than you are open.
You want to encourage that by folding your worst opening hands, and punishing him with your best. If you send the table the message you are never folding to a 3 bet, you are going to get value 3 bet into the ground, and are not going to get 3 bets into you when you have premiums. Does that sound good?
If you must fight him, you do it with a 4 bet. To profit with AJo you will have to bluff a lot anyway, why not now while the pot is small?
To me, you never ever call this pre. Usually fold, sometimes 4 bet.
I mean, really, what is the game plan with a call here? Even against a 15% 3 bet range, how are you going to make money with this hand post flop?
