This guy is 45/25/2.75 over 44 hands in my database, I'm not sure what I had him at during this hand.

The flat call pre flop was probably a pretty weak play, the guy could easily just be stealing the blinds and I probably should have re raised him. On the flop I checked expecting him to make a continuation bet and I was probably going to come over the top all in after he did. After he checked on the flop I figured he had something like KJ or a low PP.

He only has like 400 chips left after his raise so should I be folding or putting him all in?

All in all day, though I stick him in preflop with those numbers.

I don't really think villain can make this bet an expect us to fold to it so whatever they've got they're probably expecting to show it down. That'd mean probably two pair or a set. If it's a set you're drawing dead, if it's two pair you might have a few outs.

Absolute best case we can hope for is they've got a weak ace and they think that we don't.

I think you're beat most of the time here, but at the same time are you really going to give up on a 1900 pot when it's only 400 more to call?

Just put him all in. He's LAG, and he was just raising in position (tho checking the flop was odd so he probably did hit) so he could have a very wide hand range here. He'd probably make the same move with Ax.

If it hadn't been folded to him in position (ie. his raising range would be alot tighter), and his stats were alot tighter you could maybe make a case for folding (since A9 is probably the only hand you would beat) but all things consided i'd put him all in with this in a heartbeat.

Does he normally c-bet? Had he c/r before? Because if he normally c-bets and you hadn't seen him c/r then he might very well have AK/AT or something but if so that is just plain bad luck.

But yea i'd have been tempted to shove preflop...

 

[Jillychemung]

With opponents stack, I shove preflop.

I definitely should've shoved pre flop, I don't know what I was thinking really. When I was looking through my hands and found this one I couldn't really think of any good reason why I would've flat called there. I don't think it would've made much of a difference since he probably would've called with A10 anyway but I still should've done it.
