This was the 1st time he reraised me. Do you get it in with Aj vs almost anyone? Whats the get-it-in-pre std range here?
if he hadn't reraised you before i rather open shove here to avoid getting called OOP or reraised having to fold.
i think i still get it in because of being the shortest, but seems close considering it's the first time he does it.
if you 2 had some history then def MR and call a shove would be the best.
I would have hard time to fold this in BvB spot, but versus some of more passive villains it has to be done. Even though he has not 3bet you I would think how he has played overall. Passive? Always open raise, not limping? Those things give some glue what his small 3bet means here. Though, if BB is good reg he should be very rarely 3bet-folding. He gets 2100 to call for pot of 6200.
Also I am usually not minraising here, but using raise to 450-500. Minraise can be ok, but at same time you give very good odds for villain to call from position. That might lead into some nasty spots versus some villains.
+1 for raising more bvb. Try to make it a habit imo. 450-500 as ghaleon mentioned, looks good. I will also have very hard time folding AJ here, but vs someone very tight/passive opponents, I believe it is the better play. Usually raise/go broke.

Yeah this, it's far from the norm for me to raise/fold AJo here and based on your information I can't get away from my hand here.
My normal stackoff range 15bb deep given the risk aversions here would look something like 66+ AT+ against most players.
