    Default Is this a standard AK fold on the flop?

    Non shortstacked Villain is 60/7.8/8 - but only after the 38 hands I have on him.

    I figured that there's little chance either of us is on a flush draw here, so either he's got a weaker ace, a set, or a flush/straight draw. UBers (and most low limit players like me) don't tend to go so nuts on the flop with a set, though given the stack sizes and action it is still possible.

    Ultimate Bet
    No Limit Holdem Ring game
    Blinds: $0.05./$0.10.
    9 players
    Converter

    Stack sizes:
    UTG: $6.25
    DaHorror: $8.75
    MP1: $1.05
    MP2: $4.90
    MP3: $9.70
    CO: $7.35
    Button: $17.15
    SB: $9.50
    BB: $20.85

    Pre-flop: (9 players) DaHorror is UTG+1 with K A
    UTG folds, DaHorror raises to $0.4, MP1 raises all-in $1.05, 3 folds, Button calls, 2 folds, DaHorror calls.

    Flop: T A 7 ($3.3, 2 players + 1 all-in - Main pot: $3.3)
    DaHorror bets $2, Button raises to $9.3, DaHorror ....

    Id bet that flop harder, and given those stats I am going to call. Even though its only after 38 hands, he is still decidely loose aggressive and I wouldnt give him much credit here. I wouldnt really be too worried about a set, except for maybe TT, I think AT is a definite posibility, but I feel against this players range we are ahead more often than not. Also, top off to $10 preflop.

    Interesting - so the stats do make all the difference then I think.
    They were a big determining factor for me here, as I figured, given his aggression rating and looseness that I was forced to pay of any 2 pair/set hand from this player and figure he was morelikely to just have a weaker ace.
    So I called.

    Flop: T A 7 ($3.3, 2 players + 1 all-in - Main pot: $3.3)
    DaHorror bets $2, Button raises to $9.3, DaHorror calls $5.70 .

    Turn: 9 ($22.3, 1 player + 2 all-in - Main pot: $3.3, Sidepot 1: $19)


    River: 6 ($22.3, 1 player + 2 all-in - Main pot: $3.3, Sidepot 1: $19)


    Results:
    Final pot: $22.3
    Button shows Q A (A pair of Aces, Queen kicker).
    DaHorror shows K A (A pair of Aces, King kicker).
    MP1 shows 4 4 (A pair of fours, Ace kicker).
    DaHorror wins pot $22.30 with a pair of Aces, King kicker.

    I love it when people go all in like it's a tournament when they are short stacked. Happens in limit all the time too, they just decide to go all in with the 3 or 4BB they have left and raise and reraise with nothing.

    I think it was a good call, if he had made a set, he probly wouldnt have reraised you all in, rather try to get more money out of you and not scaring you off. His loose stats and overbet here makes this an instacall for me, escpecially at these levels.

    Thx. I try my best not to pay off sets/2 pairs+ with just TPTK hands - and I like to be the aggressor in those types of hands - so getting reraised with em I may sometimes give up too easily. But thank you to poker tracker - I may have folded this one without the read from the few prior showdowns from this guy + his stats rating.
