1.2, 100 ef stacks there is a 4 straddle....
ep limps and I have AJ in mp and make it 17, 40 stack guy behind me cals, sb calls and a big fish in straddle calls.
Pot is 65ish on flop. Aq2,
straddle bets 20 and I just call with 2 40nstacks behind me.
Then he bets 40 on turn and Its get ai.
Do you guys feel.ok with the flop csll? Do you guys bump it up to like 60 or just call and get it ai on turn like I did

Preflop is OK but you got more action then you would like with AJ. Particularly the multiple calls by short stacks is really annoying but not that unusual at 1/2. It's terrible play on their part but something you have to adapt to because it will happen.
With the under bet on the flop you should decide then what you are doing. Either raise enough to commit anybody that wants to play or fold. Which is better depends on villains and is really a live read. Given the actual hand obviously raise was the way to go but you could easily be running into AK/AQ/sets against a lot of villains.

This v was a particularly bad calling station, His 20 was either a weaker ace ,occasionally a better one or a random kx hand. My reasoning for calling was if I raised even given the fact that he's a station I think even to him.it would be obvious I had aj plus and would fold a k most of the time and maybe sometimes a weaker ace. I figured I could get him.to commit himself on the turn and get his whole stack that way vs raising even tho it gives him the opportunity to catch up

Dan, a few things.
1) Please use your enter button. Your hands are walls of text that are almost impossible to read, which is a large part of why you get few responses.
2) Stop posting the results in your OPs. I've told you this before. It biases responses and makes your hands look more like BBV complaints than real questions, so a lot of folks just don't answer.
3) Put reads and stack sizes in your OP. You did get stack sizes this time, but the V reads are only in your post above.
