Kalbelgarion: ???
Blac Wida hadn't played many hands, but I've seen Boschi push with A9 before, so that limp/re-raise may signal a trap or frustration. It's a big pot out there, but I'm not very committed.
Thoughts?

Absolutely fold. AJs isn't an extremely strong hand in itself, let alone facing two opponents. The chances of you being outkicked are immense here and it could be worse. If you say the one guy hasn't played many hands, well he just pulled the Limp/ReRaise play and that typically is a sign of a monster. In fact, I just noticed that BOTH players are pulling this play. One of them is certain to have Aces, Kings, or AK suited.
If you were heads up against one player, you might be ahead enough of the time to make this call, but here you are not.
Just my $.02

I folded AQo twice today within minutes of each other in 2 seperate SnG's. Both times, the pot was raised, and reraised all-in.
I got caught in the Limp/Reraise trap as well, good thing I had a decent hand. AK v. KK, luckbox me spikes an A on the flop.

Limp/all in usually means a strong hand. I would fold here.

Fold. Fold. Fold.
Come to think of it.... FOLD!
There are very few instances that you will be the favorite to win here. Only one I can think of is if they both hold AT-A2. And if you are a favorite.... it is EXTREMELY SLIGHT.

Thanks for the advice, guys. AJ seems to the worst of the premium hands, so I can see why it would be a good laydown.
A similar play just came up, where I folded AQ against two limp-re-raises. The two had KK and AK.

AJ is not a premium hand.

Skribbles is right. AJ only 'looks' premium.

AJ is pretty premium.

Care to elaborate old friend?

I just busted out of a SNG in 3rd place because I only had AKo and my opponent had AJo... therefore AJ is godly. (it was all-in PF)
