Top up, fold and carry on.

His raise size has got me thinking, he has deliberately bet sized so that he is not folding to a shove. So he has a reasonable hand but I don't think he would be upset if you folded which I think is what he essentially wants you to do.

So I don't put a lot of weight towards made flushes, I wouldn't be surprised to see a set here.

Actually I'm beginning to think his raise size is not for our benefit but for the other big stacks benefit - he doesn't want the other calling with good implied odds, and his bet scares the pants off a load of our hands.

I'm struggling to put him on hands and will have to think on it - especially how much over pairs make up part of his range.

Whole heartedly agree with you guys. I had 0 reads and no stats on both of them, and could only assume that since they were doubled up they were somewhat decent (at 10NL really aggro maniacs can get that high, but very rairly).

I also was thinking that MP2 could have so many SC's and was getting decent odds since CO called PFR. On that flop I figured there was so many combo's of draws that that he hit for sure, or was at least drawing to a monster (OESD+FD, etc). That or a set like you mentioned. Either way, I'm probably safe to assume I'm close to flipping here if not a huge underdog...?
