    >Ad,Jd< is not a great hand OOP. That being said, you have huge implied odds to make the call early with stacks 1000+bb's deep.

    With a flushing board, you could be drawing slim to dead for dodging another Heart. You flopped the broadway str8. That's one of your best card/flops except for the flushy board and it pairs on the turn.

    It's risky but you will have a big stack if you hold up.

    It's all about your risk aversion/tolerance.

    in 6 max, I'm never folding AJs to 1 raise. Flop is pretty standard. You'll get it in with plenty of worse hands.
