The description of the pre-flop action is important.
Unless this is a limit tournament, the size of each bet and raise is important.
Some description (even a minimal one) of the BB's playing style would be helpful.

it was NL
i think the blinds were 100/200 or 200/400
i raised it PF not too much cuz they've been folding to my PF raises
had A:diamond: K:diamond: so i just said WTF...sholved it ALL IN
same guy calls he has J
flop goes 2 Jacks
and i'm DONE! :mad:
i just couldn't help myself :frown:
TILT is EVIL:mad: :mad:
Okay, that's a good start. It still makes a pretty huge difference if the blinds are 100/200 or 200/400.
It sounds to me like you are varying your pre-flop raise in such a way that you are giving away information about your hand. If you are consistently picking up the blinds with raises of 3*BB, and you suddenly raise 2*BB, you are giving away something about your hand.
Also, you are trying to generate action with a hand that generally does not want action, although it probably does not mind action. I am not just toying with semantics--- there is an enormous difference between the two.
If you have been consistently pommelling your opponents with pre-flop raising and they are folding to you, this is the overall result you should want. The blinds are big enough relative to your opponents' stacks that it's worth simply picking them up time after time if your opponents are allowing you to do so.
I would make my standard pre-flop raise here, and probably show the AJs voluntarity if I pick up the blinds.
