!Luck is on a distinguished road
I was UTG

I have black AJo the game is your typical cash 200 1/2 buy in, most poeple had 100ish or so.

I raise 12 get 4 callers, flop comes AQT monotone (not of my suit)

Pot (50ish minus rake)
I bet 30.

My logic was is that I get value out of any king any draw. Someone min raises while his hands are shaking, i fold it. I know my fold is correct, but I really question my bet out.

I am also thinking that raising AJ UTG is pretty dumb, still getting used to the slower pace of live games. (my online range is something like 99+AQo+) It seems I would be will suited to play my only game live.

I'd bet like $20, but I like it.

I think AJ is fine live, so long as you know your trying to take money from somone with TPTK and not playing for stacks vs a nit when you have 5 callers. Lots of times you can get 3 smaller bets vs Ax

Basically we like our hand too much to check/fold, but would hate to go crazy here. Standard under-bet.
