Fold or call?

[villagenut]

Sorry no hand history.
90 person SNG blinds 100/200
my stack 7000
villian stack 9000
Villian has limped EVERY pot for 4 revolutions. He has accumulated his chip stack by outplaying (or maybe just being stupid) against folks after the flop. I was the only player at the table that would challange him with raises and reraises and basically out played him and made him fold for at least 3 pretty good sized pots. Hard to put this guy on a range.

We are in middle position with the two largest stacks at the table.
He acts before me and limps for 200. I have pocket tens and raise to 800. Everyone else folds and he calls.

Flop is 554 two diamonds. He pushes and has me covered.
hero??

Given his aggressive tendencies I'd call here and expect him to turn over garbage or a lower pair, not a 5.

Yeah my guess this guy hit air and is just bullying you. Call and expect to be ahead.

+1 call

My guesses:
he has exactly A4, or he has a low pocket pair.
call and hope he doesn't have JJ or hit a flush draw.

Villain holding a 5 or 44 is unlikely, and if he really plays every pot you're going to pay him off if he has a monster. If he knows you're the only one playing back at him, then shoving with the set is a great move on his part. I'd certainly fall for it.

Let me guess, you called, you were ahead and he sucked out a flush? Bummer.

He sounds like the kind of guy that would shove in that position with an ace high or some kind of diamond draw.

Snap call against this guy. You're way ahead of his range.

JJ+ highly unlikely... unless perhaps he's not quite as much of an idiot as he appears to be and has been working on setting you up for a spot like this one (but I doubt it). Far more likely sm-med.pp.

[villagenut]

Well i hate to say it but i actually folded this hand. He didn't show so i don't know what he had. I really beat myself up for folding but about 2 revolutions later, i took a big part of his stack when i had KK against his QJ

[Luco]

As long as you learn from it

i would say this is one of the easiest folds in the game, you dont want to challenge with that hand, he could almost have anything, and even if its just ace king, chases are he would hit and and draw you, but by folding you can set him up for a later play and then with a stronger hand catch his hand in the cookie jar

What?!?!??! This is terrible advice, we are way ahead of whatever he has, and if we get it in when we are ahead and he happens to draw out then that's just unlucky. Poker is a game of getting better odds on the chips we need to bet compared to the odds we have of winning the hand, and we are so clearly ahead of whatever he has that we have to call.
