25nl full ring
Hand occured on Carbon Poker so hand history conversion is by me.

Pertinent Facts......1st hand at table, I have never played against this player before.

Action Pre flop:
Folds to CO (110bb stack) who raises to $1.25
Button folds
SB folds
I raise to 3.75 in BB with :ah4: :ad4:
CO calls.

Flop
:8c4: :6s4: :2h4:

I bet $6.00
CO shoves $24.75
Just wasn't sure how to proceed with this, not sure what calls my three bet then shoves this flop.
Thoughts????

How did he shove before you acted on the flop?

Regardless how the flop action went we have to get our money in here always. This is 99-KK and other random pairs or bluffs/semibluffs so often that you just can't fold.

Well my 20 second analysis as the time ticked down, I really did not think he would do this with a set or a draw as the only legitimate draw out there was if he had 7 -9 or 7-5 for a straight draw and I don't think there is any way he calls my 3 bet with those hands.

Yep, very little chance of him having a draw, but it's probably still making up a small portion of his range (and gives you more reason to call).

This is something that you can learn about through Bryce's videos on stox, but you can look at the likelyhood of certain hands by the number of possible combinations there are of them, and comparing those combinations to the combinations of the other hands in his range.

So for example, look at top set: 8s8h, 8h8d, 8d8s, that's 3 combos.
For one overpair, say jacks: JhJs, JhJc, JhJd, JdJc, JdJs, JsJd for 6 combos.

Not sure if I counted those correctly, but the point is that it's a LOT harder to make a set than it is to have an overpair here, plus there are only three different possible sets vs the five possible overpairs.

Basically this is a snapcall.

Yep, Gotta get your money in here. I wouldn't push with a set on this rainbow rag board, but he may have a set. More than likely he had an over pair, maybe even AK and trying to put you to the test. May eb figuring you for a continuation bet?
Surely you're good in this situation.
How did the hand turn out?

Is your villian in the habit of raising 22-88 preflop from cut off? 22, 66 , and 88 are really the only hands that beat you.

Oh goodness. I can't imagine any scenario in the world were I'm not calling this. Okay... if I personally witnessed this player being incredibly tight all night except when he had the nuts and then he shoved. And I'd have to see him do it two or three times... then maybe I'd fold.....nah.

Villian is an absolute love (his name is top secret as he has become my bankroll). This was my first hand ever against him but not my last :)

He turned over:qs4: :qd4: .

My aces held and I basically doubled up. He had about $3 left and shoved the next hand preflop, I isolated him from the sb and finished off his stack. He reloaded and I got about another $12.00 from him before he left the table (Tilt is a wonderful thing when it happens to others). After he left one of the regs told me that he had spewed 4+ buy ins in about 45 minutes. He is now buddy listed, I get a pop up when he logs in to Carbon:D

In my opinion he hold an over pair so ... i'm all in in this situation.

He hold something like TT,JJ,QQ

EDIT: Sorry, I didn't see that you post him hand.

he wouldn't have a draw because he wouldn't call a reraise preflop with little cards. So he must have over cards and clearly your AA would be better than what he has. Good play
