It is not large. If you open for 3bb it is a 3x 3b. You should call and see a flop.

I open 2x he makes it a little more than over potsize, so it is actually large, I am not opening 2.5bb or 3bb. So I dont have to defend that often in this spot.

Some players like to make bigger 3b when oop. His size is not huge. You should call, you have blockers, you are suited and you have position.

He makes it 2bb more than potsize, that is quite huge. More in line with my open and regarding the fact that he is oop would be 8bb. 7bb would be a little bit too small.

He didn't make it 8bb but 9bb . Huge raise, man. :)
Huge will be 12bb+
Anyway you should call.

He 3bets 4,5x which is non-standard, even OOP, especially vs reg. I see alot of players 3betting to certain amount vs all open sizes, though, which is strange. I think you are right that we can defend tighter vs that size, but AJs is definitelly a hand to defend with in this situation, imo. We can call. If we don't want to call, we can 4bet bluff. I think the hand is too strong for bluffing, but it's better than folding. I would call.
