Villain is an avid blind stealer, he's been caught stealing many times. First time he cbets-push though.
Your play?

Personally I fold it preflop, implied odds aren't necessarily there to call the raise, although you do have position.

As played, you're getting 1.36 to 1 on the call and assuming you have 12 good outs you're slightly worse than even money to win this hand - I call but I'm not delighted about it (because of the risk of a set or higher flush draw).

i think the only way you play the flop here is with FE...which you dont have. you are likely flipping. you've already cashed. and, you risk doubling villain up unnecessarily. flipping here is bad when you are deeper, imo. you are better off stealing blinds when you are first to enter than to defend a 50/50 flop.

being aggressive is great in these stages of tourneys, but not when the other guy is being aggressive already. wait until you are first to act. or, 3bet this flop and put him to the test.

personally, i would wait for a better spot.

fold or call --i could go either way on this one when i 'm playing

did you catch him stealing or was it someone else?
does he think you will fold or defend?

[Jack Sawyer]

I did. I shoved all in many times with air to his late position steal attempt, and he folded. This time I decided to play a pot.

I think he's fed up of me, and will rep everything here to get me to fold. of course, he'll sometimes have a pair or something here.

[flomo]

now i fold

looks like he wants to end it now, so i would think he at least hit the ace

Meh, once I run it, on a chip EV basis this is a break even call but once you consider $ EV it is a fold. Too many players undervalue these big draws though - if the Ad was a Kd instead, it would be an instacall.
