This is aimed mainly at tournament players but could apply to ring game also.
I've had this happen to me a few times in the last couple of touneys I've played in, and wondered how others deal with it. Lets say we're mid way through a touney all stacks are about even (hypothetically) I'm in mid position and get dealt A Q suited ( Nice hand ) the game folds round to me and I raise 3.5 times BB the game folds round to BB who calls..... the board comes 8, 2, 10, Rainbow, I'm in position and the BB acts first.... he either goes All In or puts in a huge raise.... now I'm pretty sure his trying to steal the pot because if its not hit me its probably not hit him, also if he has hit trips he perhaps should check and wait to see what I do to try and build some value in the pot, however I have to either call him, raise or go all in and as his BB he might just have hit trips or even a pair... what do you guys do? has any one had this happen to them??
