Blinds are posted, UTG folds, I raise to 0.30 as UTG +1, cutoff raises to 1.05, button and the blinds fold I call. Flop is Ts9hAd, I raise for 3.05 thinking he has KK QQ or JJ. He shoves with AhQc and I called. Was this too loose aggressive on my part?

UTG or UTG-1 AJ is simply a hand that's good for stealing the blinds. If you get re raised your opponent will either have a better Ace or a mid to big pair. Long term you'd be better off folding and conceding those measly 2.5 BBs you came into the pot with.

Remember you represented strength UTG-1 so for a knowledgeable player to re raise you their hand must be strong. Not many people will be 3 betting light there

But how many people would be 3betting there with AQo? Is that really that much better than AJs?

Having a A is a good way to lose. It let us too much self confidence

All day everyday. Its slightly better and, oh look at that he played it in position. Just learn to fold AJ, its hard sometimes.
