you shouldnt be playing such textbook poker. call the raise with AJs, its a great hand with tons of potential. if you have position, all the better. after all, its only one raise and it makes other people want to join the hand too (good since its a drawing hand). if the flop is A low low and he bets, dont be so quick to fold. throw out a raise and see if he doesnt slow down a bit.

you want to play hands like this until given information that you're beat. dont assume you're beat.
