I know this question is in the Hoover, but how do you play AJ in early position?

Do I raise so that I can

A: Take it down uncontested or c bet a missed flop for another bite of the cherry if he calls.

B: Limp and think I'm behind to a raise from any player who's digestive system seems in good order?

Early position w/ AJos I'd probably fold.

you dont play AJo in FR utg or utg+1 (AJs prob ok) - there are some who think that Aqo should be mckd utg (if you used holdem manager, you would know who they are).
