Hero BB with A♠J♥

The math

GTO answer: Call

Five-way pot, you are closing the action with 7-to-1 odds and a hand that flops fine equity. Squeezing AJo here is a punt, you fold out all the dominated trash and only get called by hands that dominate you, plus you bloat a pot out of position into four ranges. Just call, see a flop in a giant pot, play straightforwardly post. The value of position and initiative is low when the pot is already this big.
