This guy seemed fairly loose from what I had seen so far... hadn't seen him pull off any huge stone-cold bluffs like this though.

So what do you do? You have him covered, but still, he's asking for about half your stack.

Its not a stone-cold bluff if he has the 10 though. He just uses his position to scare you.

I must admit that if he had an A, thats they way that he would had played it, but that applies to the T too or JJ, QQ, KK. He limped and that means something like A6s or T9s so again we have no idea.

If you call you hope for split but quads arent so common.. I would had called but there is no shame in folding.

I think its fairly obvious that he ahd the ace and you posted this because you regretted how you played it(most likely called)

True, he did have the ace, and true, I did call.

But I'm not so sure that I played it wrong. That's why I came here. I think it's one of those "if he beats me, he beats me" situations where you just have to bite the bullet and pay him off.

I had the exact same thing happen to me today but the board had 3 4s on it.

I also had it happen on Party Poker 7s full vs quad ducks.

Like Vense said, that is exactly how he would have played it if he had the Ace.

Yes, but there's only one ace in the deck, making it not nearly as likely as JT/T9/some random pocket pair.

There aren't any aces left in the deck. It's in his hand here.
