Villian is 18/7 over 44 hands. I've been pretty aggressive with this table, picking up the blinds and making standard steals here and there. I know my PF raise is a bit loose given my position, but I found myself in an okay situation since only the SB called. The turn brings a good card, but I get some resistance against my turn bet. What's my line here? I'm thinking he certainly isn't betting this without at least two pair, so if he does have two pair it's unlikely I have him beat. I don't see myself folding this however...

Stacks:
* BB with $9.93
* UTG with $5.74
* ProfKev85 with $10.53
* BTN with $18.02
* SB with $5.36

Edit: I must be getting ahead of myself again, as this is 5NL, not 25NL. Sorry for the wrong title.

You might have some options if villain was a little deeper but obviously you have to call here.

How is this a steal? I raise A4s from every position, and often 3-bet from the blinds.

Your NSD winnings are also higher than your SD winnings. I rest my case. :p

I have to go with C9 here. A4s is a raise from any position when you play 5 handed. About 3 betting it from the blinds, i would only do it if BTN was the raiser.

On the other hand, this may be too aggressive for 5NL.
