He definately is showing strength. Folding is probably the correct call here, but you never know when a fish will play that with A-rag-offsuit. I would probably fold here, thinking he has AQ or AK. You can call here without busting, or you can fold and keep ~8000 chips.

I think he thinks you are on a steal, and is trying to push you out of the hand. I'm thinking you are 80% ahead here. I call.

Think about what he could be holding? AJ-Ak is ruled out since it would have most likely reraised PF. He could be holding a boat, but you have redraws. A suited flush draw or weak two pair is my thinking.

Per poker stove: (on the hand ranges I can see him playing) (hand that are XsXs are suited in Spades, I can't see him playing these hands not in spades)

Did you call Pok?

I called the weak tight bastard had AKo river was a blank and I lost. Finshed 6th overall made the $ was a 45 man SNG.

I close my eyes and call!!!!

I think he he could really be on AX... 88 and 99 are still possible.

KJ

Well, I think you made the right move, he just played it weird. Most sane players would reraise that "obvious Steal attempt" with AK.

You guys are forgetting that he was facing a steal... you are tightening down his hand range way too much.
