Folding AJo vs a steal here seems pretty weak in my opinion.
AJo does do well against the stealing range from CO, but I do not like playing it out of position postflop. That's why I chose to 3bet here instead of calling.
I will often pick up the pot right there, but it's an easy fold against a 4bet. If someone decides to flatcall I can make a c-bet on a dry flop. If I hit TPTK, I'm often good. The problem is when hitting an A. I will probably go for pot control and fold when Villain gets very aggressive.
