    Default 50NL: flopped top 2 pairs - board is 3 spades

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    UTG+1 ($52.55)
    MP1 ($49.50)
    MP2 ($104.75)
    CO ($11.80)
    Button ($91.25)
    Hero ($49.75)
    BB ($43.80)
    UTG ($60.05)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with K, A.
    4 folds, CO calls $0.50, 1 fold, Hero raises to $2.5, BB calls $2, CO folds.

    Flop: ($5.50) K, A, 3 (2 players)
    Hero bets $4, BB raises to $14, Hero ???

    villain was 19/6/0.8, villain seemed tight.

    Is this a standard push? I don't think we can fold this.

    Yeah this seems like a pretty standard shove, however your opponents 19/6/.8 is just redic. With an aggression factor of .8 and you holding top two, i don't see what else he could be raising in this situation.

    Do you have a lot of hands on him? Are your stats reliable? Has he ever in your history played back at you? I don't play full ring, but meh this spot sucks. It just seems sooo likely that you are behind.

    With that said, why would he raise with a flopped flush? People who raise huge and almost open shove the nuts in general just baffle me.

    While i think this is normally a standard shove, and most people will probably tell you just to shove, i don't mind if you fold here really. Either way seems fine by me, im curious to see what others will say.

    I had about 60 hands.
    Nope, I haven't seen him playing back at me ... but I was being aggressive c-betting a couple of flops ...
    With aggression of 2, I would be pleased to shove it , with 0.8 ... ???

    i really dislike shoving vs this player. if you want to play it for stacks i think call c/r turn is better because i dont think this player is raising a fd here and if you shove now you're folding out the one legit hand you beat (A3) and also folding out the rare bluffs. this really looks like a fold though. dont give this nit action.

    A3 and K3 are never folding to a shove here

    Call, shove over his bet on any non-spade turn.
