    Default Can I get away from this?

    NL home game, blinds are 10/20, I have about 1500 in my stack.

    Dealt UTG+1
    I raise 80, two callers, MP and SB
    MP- Loose-passive player, has only played 2 times before. He's been drinking.
    SB- Losse-aggressive, pretty experience player.
    Pot: 260
    Flop

    Ace scares me, checked around.
    Pot: 260
    Turn

    After being checked on the flop, I put out a small bet of 1/4 pot, MP calls, SB folds.
    Pot: 380
    River

    I bet the pot, MP raises all in, about 900 more. What should I do?
    Keep in mind I don't have much of a read on this guy, he's drunk, and a new player.

    call in a flash. You are only afraid of 45 and AA.

    agreed. here's why:

    Scenario 1: MP has 4-5

    a player who had only played twice before probably wouldn't have called a pre-flop raise with 4-5, even if they were suited. also, he probably would have raised after the turn made his straight.... a slowplay from someone who is a novice and drunk isn't vey likely

    Scenario 2: MP has AA

    No way a novice would slowplay pocket aces right down to the river, especially if they flop a set.

    As beavis 68 pointed out, these are the only two hands that can beat you.

    Results in white below:
    MP shows AA!!!!!!!!!

    Is this a situation that I am destined to lose money on?

    Of course he had AA, or you wouldn't have post this. I think Phill Hellmuth even would have gotten broke here.

    I would have called Dan Harrington's all in.

    Depending on position, yeah, I would probably bet it.

    I was second to act, after the SB who checked. I think if I had bet the flop, MP would've called, and SB would've folded (he later told me he held 55). WOuld this have helped me gain more knowledge about MP's hand?

    IF he called the flop and then bet the turn, you could have folded it pretty safely.
