I am far from an expert. I wouldn't even classify my response as advice, but I'm all in here. At the micfro stakes, lag's constantly use the board to bluff me off my hand. I know the odds are he does not have the flush yet. He probably has the A, K, Q, heck maybe even the T of diamonds hoping to catch. I'm curious as to what the experts say.

What's his range?
According to the range you give him, what's the best play? Calling, shoving or folding?

Not saying this isn't an easy shove... just... you know... always good to know why.

You're short stacked, he's LAG, and you have the over pair. What else is there to consider?

the good thing here is that if he's way ahead now, you can still usually catch a flush and improve
and if he has a higher flush draw most of the time you're ahead in the hand

Thanks. I get in situations many times where I don't know what to do. I don't mind losing the hand, I just want to make sure I make the right move. Looks like I did the right thing.

As a follow-up question...

I get 2 pair many times and get beat with a set. Is this something that you just live with or is there a way to tell if someone has a set?
