    We have just gotten down to 2 tables. I was moved to this table so no reads on villain and vice versa.

    Hero ???

    I just could not see this guy flatting me on the flop without being ahead or moving ahead on the turn with hands like AcXc. I am getting insane odds to call but I only beat AJo, air, and maybe something like a pair with straight and flush draw (e.g. QxKc). Thoughts??

    It depends on what his range is. if he's been playing loose or calling pre flop raises pretty lightly then i think its a call but w/o a read i'd let it go and just wait for a better spot.

    also in these $5 tournys people could be calling pre flop there with pretty much anything.

    anyway all in all i think its a fold here, unless u have a decent read

    since it is BvB I think I would just call and hope

    just playing one orbit with villian wouldda helped huge. u got 20 BB if you fold and 7 if you call and lose. If you win you have almost 50 BB and are CL probably. His range is huge here... I like the upside of calling.

    He could easily have Arag here imo.

    You could also raise a little more preflop than 2.5x when you're SB vs BB. It looks like you bet pot on the flop as well, I might make a smaller bet there. Would leave you with a bit of an easier decision on the turn if he doesn't go away.

    As played, I think I lean toward a fold since you have a workable stack if you let it go.
    On moving up, properly rolled:
