AJ suited from the small blind.

[yuriko oyama]

I would like to know a general opinion:
what do you think of a suited AJ from the small blind?
in different situations: deep , medium and short stacks.

Hi!
In big and medium stacks, I would increase this hand with 4x+ sizing, with stacks less than 25 you can shov, you don’t really want to play out of position, although suited ones can sometimes be called, unsuited ones would always 3bet.

Same for me: If I have a big stack I raise x4, if I am under 20 BB I shove. In other cases this hand is tricky to play from the small blind.

I concur with the above, and because of playing OOP, I wonder how often you'd want to 4bet with it

that's why I asked the question, I think it's a very complex and very doubtful hand.

for me on the flop, if it's not a flush draw, I'm already seriously thinking about folding it.

Depends on previous action and stack depth. If there is a large UTG open at a full ring table with 9 players, it might sometimes just be a fold especially against a tight player. And its typically also a fold, if there is an open and a 3-bet in front of us. But other than those rare situations its a hand, we are almost always going to play in some way.
