    Default Is it standard to push here at 400NL?

    My HUD wasn't up yet, but i recognized the villain and had played with him before at 400NL. No other reads.

    At 200NL i'd just let this one go, is this any different?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $4 BB (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Hero ($497.10)
    MP ($188.80)
    Button ($216.85)
    SB ($396)
    BB ($400)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG with A, K.
    Hero raises to $16, 3 folds, BB calls $12.

    Flop: ($34) 6, A, 3 (2 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets $28, BB calls $28.

    Turn: ($90) 9 (2 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets $72, BB raises to $184, [color=#CC3333]Hero ????

    How is it weird, 2.5x seems pretty normal.

    I'd dump it, we're not beating much and if we are its really close. I don't like best case scenario coin flips for all da money.

    I don't think there are any hands in the deck that hero is coin flipping with unless I'm missing something.

    Vs. a solid regular I sometimes check behind the turn, if I bet I make it $60-ish. As played I'm probably folding to the c/r, esp without a read.

    Not very std no unless you have a very crazy image

    I'd fold to the c/r as well

    meh i think a lot of the time this is someone trying to rep the flush and take the pot away from you.

    I think most of the time you should just let it go though as the pot isn't that big, and theres just so many hands that villain could have that have u beat here.

    Pretty sure you are usually crushed here. Standard fold without a read.

    So, he check-calls you on the flop with a hand worse than A-K, then opts to check-raise bluff the turn when you're showing strength on a scary board? I'm guessing you're just hoping he's going wild with the naked K of clubs or something.

    Unless you know this guy is completely crazy (that is, this is a bluff often enough to play for your entire stack), this looks like an easy fold.
