Welcome back.

With that board and his action, I can pretty easily put him on KK or AA. Unless I think he's a pretty bad player.

Blinds are small and managable, so the fold is a good move.

-'rilla

I reraise preflop for quite a few chips. I don't fold this at the flop, only because you are playing a 5$sng and your are playing against terrible players.

I'm a mix of both the other responders. I would reraise preflop to find out if you're against a higher pocket pair or not. Then I would probably fold to such a large bet on the flop, for the reasons 'rilla stated.

As far as I can tell, he could have AA, KK, QQ, JJ, TT, 99, T9s, or if he is very aggressive, AT.

TT and 99 and T9s seem least likely, since he wouldn't likely be so aggressive protecting his hand.

Still, 5 / 7 (ignoring QQ, since it's so unlikely) beat you.

So can you explain why you think he has AA or KK, specifically?

being that it's a 5 dollar sng, i can almost guarantee you had the better hand, or at most he had a set. I probably would've re-raised all in, because I have seen countless people going all in with any pocket pair. It's definitely not rare at all. Also TPTK is another favorite of going all in.

But, you never know, sometimes you do run into cowboys or rockets. You made a safe play, being that there was 5 left. I guess you would need to have a better read on his style of play to decide if he had u beat.
