Now, theres some hands i have issues with playing, more to the fact i dont really know the best line to play.

AJ is a hand i have problems with a lot.

So, my question here is, how is best to play:

A) AJo, late position/button.

I'm mostly stuck if i get a raise first, mostly i am tempted to reraise to see how strong their hand is, however if they call my reraise im effectively drawing dead?

Is it better to fold AJo late position to a raise, this seems a bit tight to me. If theres no raise i will raise this 100% of time and if i hit my ace assume i am good and go to war with it, unless i get some really fishy play/obvious flush hitting.

B) AJs, late position/button.

This hand is similar but has flush posibilities, how much stronger does this hand become being suited? I'm not sure tbh. How do you play this hand in comparison to AJo, do u reraise this more?

C) AJo, early position.

I really hate this position here, i usually raise/call dependant on table image, i really dislike calling now with AJo though, even if i hit my ace in an unraised pot theres a chance i cud get cained by a freak hand like 48o. Best to just fold this early position? again tho seems a bit tight to me.

D) AJs early position.

I usually raise this hand here but again not sure if this is good play, im mostly looking to hit the flush or my ace, but if i get TPTK with jack i usually assume im good here. If i get reraised im a bit clueless and generally just fold it or call and hope to hit flush draw on flop.

This is for 6max 25NL.

Any advice/opinions appreciated

eh i reraise a lot of hands in LP but essentially for AJs and AJo (I think suited only adds a 2% edge to your hand or something) I just see where the raise is. If they raise UTG or UTG+1 i dump it, if it's the cutoff and i'm the button i reraise or cold-call. In the blinds I reraise cutoff and button stealers.

Oh, and I usually check or complete in the blinds if it's limped around, especially at NL25 where everyone will just call you and then you have to lead out, out of position.

I know this is obvious, but it also depends alot on the player. Late position with a maniacal early raiser, I'd repop obviously. Whereas, tight nit from early position = easy fold. Even if you hit your flush with AJs, you wont be paid off anyways.
