Rosco's Hand from APAT team championship

[rosco]

We have a few good strategy columns here like Moles cash games and number from peoples online plays, with me playing more live than online I thought I would try posting a regular strategy from live MTT poker. Idea is to get peoples thoughts, opinions and what they would do. I will try and give you as much information as I can or think is necessary and will let you know what I did and the outcome. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

35 minutes from the end of day one with 28 players remaining. Blinds are at 3,6k.

Sat comfortably with 80k just over average stack and enough to take through to day 2.

Under the gun pushes all in, this player had been playing tight aggressive and built up his stack from nothing when I joined the table to a considerable amount before losing a few large pots.

everyone folds to me where I am sat one off the button. The button is very loose, sb is LAG and bb is a rock.

I look down at Ace Jack off, I ask for a chip count, it works out at 18,600.

What would you? :ok

Re: Rosco's Hand from APAT team championship I would say that you cannot call as you'll price everyone else in, so it is raise or fold. Your raise probably needs to be to 40/50K to discourage any further callers (and then you are pot committed anyway) and AJ isn't that strong a hand. After all this rambling I've convinced myself to fold:eek
