Looks like AQ, but i don't think the all in is enough for you to fold your K kicker. Read on villain? If he's real tight i guess let it go but against a random opp i probably call since there's no one else in the hand and the most you're gonna have to put in is another 21$ into a 42$ pot.

[Lexicon Devil]

The pot's $63 and you're being asked to bet $21.

Even if he has AQ you still have a 14% chance of winning the hand. The pot odds aren't quite there, but they're not too far off. Then consider all the other cards he might be doing this with, assuming he isn't tight (KdQd, AK, KdJd, AJ) - hell he might just be taking you for KK/QQ and representing the ace - I think you have to make this call.

If he has a set, just pay it off, he is the shortstack after-all.

[PokerPatNEU]

You're RIGHT the pot IS 63$. Nice addition by me.

ok good, i called pretty quickly.. he had AQ and i didnt suck out. But i gained some valuable info from the hand and busted him a while later with AA...
