    Default I know you're all getting sick of me, but I got another one...

    I guess the fact that he re-raised me PF and then checked on the flop should have set off some warning bells in my head but I thought he might have been afraid of the A.

    The play up until your bet on the flop probably could have been played the same way by KK-TT, reraising preflop, but checking after seeing an Ace hit. But i think the check raise would have defintly thrown me off...I dont see check raises being executed by less than TPTK very often, specially at these limits.

    I think you have to call.... .05/.10 player can be sooo bad... wihtout any read, I make that call.

    However, even at .10/.25, I think I fold!

    KJ

    edit: God! I's .02/.05!!! Call it big time! no wonder it's a +EV play...

    If you are folding that when an A hits, then fold preflop. Seriously.

    Given you can see 2 aces, the chance of him having the other 2 is pretty slim.

    You got to put 1.47 in at odds of around 2:1.

    He could easily make the same play with AK himself or even AQ. Some players get frustrated when they raise KK and see an Ace and can't lay it down anyway.

    these types of hands rarely happen, i think its only happend to me like 2 times in my whole life where i was on the losing end, and ive done it to someone once. Then again, i fold AK alot to a re-raise pf.

    I think ur play here is still fine, cuz alot of the time u will find villian holding QQ KK, AK AQ

    Without a read it's an easy call.

    Against a known better player a fold would be fine.

    The check/raise on the flop is telling you something. A good player isn't trapping with AK, AQ here and your probably in trouble.

    A standard micro limit donk could do this with a worse hand than yours, so yeah...

    Without read def. call.
