    Default $30 STT - Missed AK with gutshot draw against stop-n-go

    Opp is a hardcore winning multitabler. Can't remember stats but assume he knows what he's doing. This is a stop-n-go if I ever saw one. Your move?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, 30 Tournament, 100/200 Blinds (7 handed) - PokerStars Converter Tool from http://www.flopturnriver.com/

    UTG (t1,220)
    Hero (MP1) (t3,600)
    MP2 (t3,475)
    CO (t600)
    Button (t930)
    SB (t1,845)
    BB (t1,830)

    Hero's M: 12.00

    Preflop: Hero is MP1 with A, K
    1 fold, Hero raises to t450, 4 folds, BB calls t250

    Flop: (t1,000) 4, 2, 5 (2 players)
    BB bets t1,380 (All-In), Hero ????

    To me it looks like he is trying to scare you out of the pot. Why such a big bet? If he knows what he is doing, he would not bet that high with any good hand like a set. The only possible scenarios as I see it, is either he is trying to scare you out of the pot as said, or he has an overpair like 77,88,99 and don't want you to draw for any of your likely overcards, or the 3 in case you have the A.

    AQ- makes up too much of his range for me to fold here. Sigh and call. No matter what you should have 7-10 outs even if behind.

    a little town called none of your goddamn business
    I'm no STTer but I'd expect that his best aces would just jam pre. You're looking at a pair here more often than not, but I think you're gonna see like Ad9d or KdJd or something a ton here. Easy call.

    If he is a big winner as you stated then he literally never has anything that beats you here , and is just stop n going you to get you to fold the whiffed part of your range rather than him jamming pre and getting called 100% anyways . He jams all his good hands that will be ahead of your range (88+ ajs+ maybe even lighter) , I am never folding in this spot and even more so to a winning player .

    good call. bad position to be in, but if u where acting before him u would do the same as him. bad flop is a easy shove for ak

    Maybe I'm too tight, but I'd just be folding my A7o from an MP raise.

    I feel like a lot of players make this play with 66-TT. With the type of pair that is not epected to be an overpair to an average flop, and then when it is an overpair they decide to play it as a monster.

    Seriously coinflip, because they could easily be just trying to but the pot as well, and even if they have a pair you still have a ton of outs.

    I'm a pretty tight player, but I probably reluctantly fold here

    I'd be pretty happy to call. No sighing from me.

    The reason I would sigh is I expect to see A2-A5, and 66-99 here more often than hands that we are dominating. But I am definitely calling.

    I wouldn't expect to see these hands as often because they are incredibly strong and villain doesn't have to go all-in 100% of the time in this spot on the flop.
