Not to mention that your plan to call pre and keep worse in backfires pretty often, because even though he has all Ax, it's not THAT common of an occurrence for you to both hit your ace (equivalent to hitting a 2 outer - ie it happens as often as hitting a set).

So really it's more likely that he wins the pot by cbetting Ax and you bricking AJ than by you both hitting the ace and you winning a bigger pot.

My main reason to flat AJ would be if the dynamic was that I would get 4b bluffed often , but wasn't comfortable 5b shoving AJ. Either that or if he's the type to make my life difficult in 3b pots OOP, though most ppl play pretty fit or fold.
This is really interesting because this is the type of spot where I will flat A LOT because I think I'm way ahead of villain's range and I want to keep all of his weaker hands that I dominate in his range as well.

I almost feel like I'm 3bet bluffing when I 3bet here and I see no reason to turn a hand as strong as AJo into a bluff BB vs BU.
