My idea on this hand was to target the UTG since for the last 5 hands he shoved every one of them and his stats after 43 hands are: VPIP 50 PFR 18 Limp 36

Do you guys think that calling here with AJ is ok? Or most of his range is behind my calling range and basically is a gamble this situation.

If UTG has shoved 5 hands in a row, then I would also call with AJ. Just a bad beat really, since even if you just hold against UTG, you win the side pot and make a small profit. I also think, BTN can be on a wide range, since he is so short, and he might also have noticed, that UTG has been very active. This time BTN actually had a real hand, but that does not mean, his entire range has AJ in bad shape.

Not a mistake but a spot we could pass on based on the 3 way pot-----to stack protect vs weak V our stack size is important on this table- --The BTN call can be any ace giving us less chance of hitting our hand- therefore if the UTG has 33 and the BTN has A2hh we only have 32% equity vs UTG---suited is a better call for us

Good points-I always wonder if position influences range in a spot like this by the UTG V-are they more likely to have that better range in this spot? - which means we can edge pass here based on table dynamics- or if we should ignore table dynamics as the table may break very soon and stay with raw equity vs range
