no readings? He was agressive player? Tight? I would fold.. I don't want to risk on a 10 kicker...he may gets KK, QQ, A J. I don't know...

Without any reads, Fold. There are no draws here and unless you KNOW that the BB is bluffing or capable of shoving a worse Ace you have to assume you are up against a made hand especially with the check raise.

preflop with the bolinds so high a raise to 2.5x BB should be good here. but as played I can't see folding ever. By cbetting the flop you commit yourself to the pot and top pair is too strong here to ever fold IMO. I really think he could be doing this with weaker aces as well as PP's.

Make it 290 preflop, and check back the flop.

I unfortunately disagree. You are offered a great price here and fwiw I think all aces are in his range, without some specific reads, I wouldnt fold and be happy about it

 

[ljove]

I thin that I will call this hand.If he got a better hand you will still be in the game.If he just bluffing or pushing with A you will knock him out.He must play with aggression because of his stack.If he folds to you he will be doomed with 5-6 blinds in his stack.Call and push him out.

Tough one, very read-dependent. I think with 1/3 of my stack in this pot already, without a solid read of "tight" from the BB, I'm probably calling here. I've been shown a "tricky" JJ-KQ and Ax suited too many times here by people who thought they were good at blind defense to merit folding.

Plus you're being laid what... 2.5-1 on the call? I think he's got a worse hand at least often enough to make this call profitable, if only by a little.
