    Default $200nl - Another Aces Hand

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $2 BB (8 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    SB ($410.15)
    BB ($27)
    UTG ($226.55)
    UTG+1 ($273.50)
    MP1 ($74)
    Hero ($200)
    CO ($35.75)
    Button ($215.75)

    Preflop: Hero is MP2 with A, A.
    3 folds, Hero raises to $8, 2 folds, SB calls $7, 1 fold.

    Flop: ($18) J, 7, T (2 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets $16, SB raises to $48, Hero ...

    First orbit, no stats and I don't know how he got his stack.

    Here's my though process at the table: I figure sets, JT, KK/QQ and draws are his most likely hands. There's 12 combinations of KK/QQ that I'm way ahead of, 9 combinations of sets that I'm way behind, and 9 combinations of JT that I'm something like 3:1 or 4:1 against. I figure against those hands that I'm about a coin-flip and that he's calling a push with all of them, but I have to weight KK/QQ a little less since he would likely 3-bet with these hands preflop. However, with consideration for 16 possible combinations of KQ plus the occasional two spades (which are less likely because I hold the A and the T is on the board, though I don't think it matters much here), and I think that this is a clear push since calling and getting it in on the turn doesn't seem to have any added benefit, but it could let draws catch on me.

    Thoughts?

    Yeah that board is way too drawy to do anything but push. This is not a wa/wb situation.

    I don't think you can put him on KK/QQ as most ppl 3-bet these pre-flop. As you said you have the 3 spades and back door straight/flush potential if you are behind. I would just shove the flop.
