    He's only afraid of AK, AQ, KQ (also TJ) but clearly doesn't think you have them.

    If I'm him I'm thinking it's a split pot to your Ax, calling and counting my blessings on a lucky board.

    If it was me I would guess you had AK, AQ or KQ. and would'nt have got anything like this far in.

    If I don't fold pre-flop, I'm folding after "your" re-raise on the flop, chances are that you are either out kicked, or you oppenent...errr "you" is holding AK, or AQ, to which you are all but drawing dead.

    Interesting way to analyse a hand for a change though

    I had 65 suited and i knew the mofo was playing a weak ace because of his flat call preflop and the sizable raise on the flop so i tryed to represent another ace with a better kicker

    the thing about this is that there is literally no hand you can beat... at best you lose money to the rake when you split... at worst you lose more money when they turn over the boat

    Well, if you raised PF, I would hope you had a hand that was AKo/s, AQs, or TT, JJ, QQ, KK, AA. If you did, the raise wasn't high enough. Try betting 4BB, perhaps he wouldn't of called, but I guess you didn't know how loose he was, etc... Any kind of raise would dictate you having the hands I described above (at least I would hope)

    I would bet 1/2 pot on the flop, if he flat calls. I would wonder. On the turn check it over to see what he does. If he bets, contemplate on the size of the bet, then use your discretion.

    Just my thought, but if he JUST sat down, to tough to read what he's going to do. Just my thoughts, but I would rarely play those cards out of the SB...

    Tough hand to figure out, but I like what Bob said as well...

    i guess its a good time to mention that you are BETTING not RAISING.... raising implies that someone else has already bet the pot in that particular betting round

    Actually Av, it's still considered raising, even if noone has bet before you...
