Eck you haven"t got an edge, its built into you its your character, its means you are a little bit weerr and little bit warrr. In depth studies of the edge have proved that cockney geezers have the biggest edge, please see attached video explanation ;)

Any two cards ...
People do this with massive hands in order to induce the call from marginal aces.
People shove with nothing.
... but it depends on the money at stake, the structure, what I think of the players.
Long run - I don"t think calling with AJ is a big winner.

If we are running the table and winning with a standard pot bet a high % of the time then imo there is no need to give away your strong position (ie having enough chips to bully the table) with a marginal hand like AJ in this spot.
Its true that as you continue to bully the table that the range of restealing hands does become wider but against a very tight player I would prefer to fold this spot where you will be either in really bad shape or flipping to maintain my chipstack. The flod also gives you some additional advantages in that it signals to the table that you will fold to a massive overbet, this means when people play back at you they are more likely to make overraises which makes the times you have a monster far more profitable.
I would expect a large percentage of the time this would be AJ+ or any pair and if you are picking up chips easily why flip here.

hey all, thanks for all the feedback.
there was a line of thought before i made the play.
i had been hammering this guy for a while, and thought at some stage he would get fed up and play back at me.
i felt that if he had a premium he would make a scary 4 bet, so by him just pushing i felt that a large portion of the time my aj is ahead of his pushing range.
main problem was that i considered myself to have an edge on the players and my calling the bet would mean me surrendering this and leaving it down to the cards falling.
In the end I called - i had played the previous hands with him to set up this exact move - aj was more than good enough - it was my chance to win the tournament outright.
