Been reading this section in Small Stakes Hold'Em and wanted to know people's opinions here. I'm just beginning to explore this play post flop.

For example: You hold AJs in middle position and raise in front of one limper. Receive two callers, one being the small blind and the other the limper before you. Flop comes 10 7 4 rainbow. The person in position first bets. Both villains are 22/10.

Obviously you have six outs to improve to possibly the best hand. What is the proper play here and why? Do you fold, call hoping to spike one of your overcards, or raise to represent the strength you showed preflop?

22/10 is pretty standard, so 1st position opening up post flop probably has something. What's his flop bet, and what does his aggression factor look like?

In NL? Call if you have odds. In limit? Call.

I though this was a clear fold. I could never call this, not with an overpair "draw". Unless I knew the play was tight enough to fold top pair that I could call, then bet if he checks the turn to bluff him.
