    Button ($5)
    Hero (SB) ($17.39)

    UTG ($5.27)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with K, A
    UTG calls $0.05, 1 fold, Hero bets $0.30, 1 fold, UTG calls $0.25

    I know turn raises usually mean a monster, but why limp UTG and raise the flop? Something about his line bugs me, so I'd probably be calling here and hope he hasn't got 33.

    Who limps UTG with Axs? A9s+?

    He obviously has 25o and has hit his guthshot straight draw.

    All jokes aside however, I would usually say he's hit his set. He was trying to limp into the pot with 44 or 66 and you raised him. He saw that you had a nice juicy stack to double up on if he hit his set (and also realized you are raising with goodness, yes goodness) and chose to call (though a questionable call). Flop comes...BOOM, SET! Get outta there! I had a hand similar to this yesterday (posted on my OP).
    That's how winners play; we convince the other guy he's making all the right moves.

    Hero can still get away from his hand. He's getting just over 2-1 with top pair top kicker on a co-ordinated board.

    Why do you think we're committed sportsmen?
    The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than average. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their mistakes

    Canada; the country all tucked away down there...
    Is it possible he had nut flush draw on turn plus the paired ace?
    Maybe its just me.....I always assume opp's have flushes...
    perhaps he did limp with ATs or something similar and then call your raise.

    meh. He's got you here and you can easily get away from this with minimal damage done. There isn't enough for you to win here if you make this call imo. Fold and move on.
