BB: $5.06
UTG: $9.32

Pre Flop: ($0.03) Hero is SB with A:club: J:club:
UTG calls $0.02, 2 folds, MP2 calls $0.02, 1 fold, BTN calls $0.02, Hero calls $0.01, BB checks

Flop: ($0.10) 9:heart: 5:spade: J:diamond: (5 players)

So you got 3 limpers, pretty good chance they have weak holdings. You have AJs in the SB which means that 100% of the time you'll be OOP.

You didn't give any reads on players so Ill assume you have none?

With no reads I raise it to around .12 or .14 here. Esp. since your going to be OOP. You would rather play this vs 1 player amirite? Make them pay for see a flop with their crappy limpy hands. By raising a value hand like this you can win it the times you miss too cause you have the initiative in the hand.

Then play some poker on the flop.
