Tough cash game spot

Hmmm.
Easy call here for me. However I'm sure your getting hit with an A. Doubt he's calling your 25 pre flop with a weak A though. I'm thinking he's got A10 or better and he just thinks you are trying for the Flush line blankly.

Only other way I see that shove from that guy is if he's sitting with pocket 44, or 55.

He'd be a pretty solid player to be shoving Trip A's into you with that flush possibility out there.

Don't know how you can fold. Ah on the board so that knocks out some of his calling range that would beat you. You ever see him raise at all? Does he only show aggression when he has a hand...is he one of those 45/2 type players? That'd be the only way I could think about folding. Call and if he wins just chalk it up to...

I'd caution about raising with spec hands with a big station on your left though. It's tough to not feel as though you can outplay these guys, and it's a strange dynamic playing 2/5 with a 300 max buy in and a few players deep...but I think you'll find yourself playing in these types of hands out of position more often than you'd like...

These were typical 2/5 players. We're not talking intimidating players but they do have a brain and attempt bluffs with some frequency.

thats a tuff one with a pair on the bored yeah he could have pockey 44 88 or 55 but the way hes calling and not raising is suspicious.but im thinking he had A8 by the looks of it.But who the fuk would of called that big of a pre flop bet with A8?Id be willing to go all in a and call.he defintly doesnt have 2 hearts or he would have folded with only one heart on the flop.

make the call and get paid; he has ace big....... he didn't fill up..... he's not thinking you've got a flush since you back doored it.......

I predict ak or aq; he's thinking he's got trips with great kicker to win the hand......

if i had to name one hand he has, it's ak.........

My first thought too despite the pot odds. Such a strange line for trip aces so I was leaning more towards a set or some nonsense. I struggled with this hand and tanked maybe 2 minutes before deciding there were too many Ax hands that would think they're trapping me or I'm repping the A and value bet me here. Called and Villain rolled over 67o

Turns out he had me on the A and thought he hit a gin river. Even got that satisfying moment when he thought he was showing down a winner, then had all the air sucked out of his body when he saw my flush and had to sulk away broke (yes, I'm evil and probably going to hell but I've come to terms with that)

Can't really fold there I think...if he has a set and you got super unlucky, so be it; just too many plausible hands that he could show down besides the handful that beat you. Nice win
