No tells, notes or stats on any player, since I'm fairly new to this limit.

I'm going by a fairly conservative strategy as well.
In this conservative strategy, AJo is a fold vs a UTG open.

However I groaned a bit when I saw the flop.

How would all you 100 NL players handle this...

PokerStars - $1 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

Hero (MP): $183.28
CO: $51.52
BTN: $113.19
SB: $38.71
BB: $118.35
UTG: $64.41

SB posts SB $0.50, BB posts BB $1.00

Pre Flop: (pot: $1.50) Hero has A♣:J♠:

UTG raises to $2.00, fold, fold, fold, SB calls $1.50, fold

Flop: ($5.00, 2 players) 5♣:K♥:6♠:
SB checks, UTG bets $2.00, SB calls $2.00

It's funny to see short stacks at NL100, but I would most likely 3bet or fold pre-flop against a unknown with AJo.

Yeah — the problem with short stacks is that if they are playing a legitimate short-stack or even mid-stack strategy, then shoving pocket pairs is a huge part of their strategy.
Oh yeah — and no implied odds
