What's the better option here? I raised because I felt like only 2 players would even consider calling UTG opener, if I was raised I'd have folded. I read different forums about similar istuations and all replies are different

What are the options other then standart raise and call occasionally against loose player when you are deep.

80% of answers I received on other forums were to fold here without much thinking, which was close to what I was going to do there too, but open raise edged it

AJo isn’t a bad open in my opinion, but it’s always tricky to play a hand like this multi way and out of position and that would happen often at the 50c stakes.
