Don't you just love these out of position TPTK hands

I think I would put him on TT, 88 or ATs. He was happy to call pf and let 4 people see the flop. (which would be bad with AA or KK). There are some hands that you could be ahead of AQ, AJ, QQ, JJ.

Assuming he is not real Laggy, I think I am folding here. He has already committed nearly 1/2 his stack to the pot. So I think he probably has better than a pair.

$50 to win $160... I think 1/3 times I'm winning the hand, so I push.

now that we have some varying opinions.. lets see what actually happened...

EvilEcstasy_ is all-In [$138]
alsname is all-In [$43.85]
** Dealing Turn ** [ 6d ]
** Dealing River ** [ Jh ]
alsname shows [ Qd, Ad ] a pair of aces.
EvilEcstasy_ shows [ Ah, Ks ] a pair of aces.
EvilEcstasy_ wins $79.15 from side pot #1 with a pair of aces with king kicker.
EvilEcstasy_ wins $171.7 from the main pot with a pair of aces with king kicker.
alsname has left the table.


My reasoning for pushing was I figured the raise was more of a "feeler" raise to see where his ace stood. Ironically, once the answer came back that I had strong holdings, he still called my push (I guess he was pot-comitted by this point). Had he a larger stack behind his raise I would have folded.

ding ding ding I AM THE WINNAR!!

Spooky, nh, but I don't think many people are putting in half their stack on a feeler... as you said he was commited. A lot of people just play AQ like AK. However in addition to the hands above he could make this play with a draw hoping you have KK/QQ and will fold to the A... so on balance I like the call.
