The situation is that you have a fairly good hand in the SB with 2 new posters in front of you (one new to the game, one dead + sb). Is this an auto raise? I don't think many posters fold their dead blinds. Wouldn't a raise here just increase variance with little fold equity?

Against two random hands, AJ is great. I definitely raise here.

Yup. You have very little folding equity, but you're likely to hold the best hand.

Absolutely raise for value here. You know for a fact they have a random hand that they didn't raise with. Get the money before they miss the flop.

Posting before I read the responses.
I voted to raise for value.

I'd raise for value here. If they weren't posters, I'd still raise for value. AJo was my worst hand in ring, but now that I'm a SH convert, I've been crushing with that hand (out of 23 AJo's, I've won 0.72 BB/hand). So much ace-rag nonsense out there, and people play KJ and QJ quite strongly two. I find I'm dominating rather than dominated with this hand, and have won some pretty pots.
