This is fine. He has an A here most of the time.

I'm not saying you are wrong, but you can elaborate a bit further? Do you plan on folding to any overcard? If he has an A, its quite likely he has a K or Q too.

I typically get it all-in here, might be a leak. I think check/ folding just looks very weak.

[PotatoStew]

Could someone explain in a bit more detail? Why does the villian have an A most of the time? Why not 99-KK? Also, why would a c-bet on the flop not be a better play? Thanks.

[Sorcerer808]

A cbet on the flop would be a bad play because he is committed already. If he had more chips I would c-bet.

[Dave I]

He can have other hands but an A is a very big part of his range. We wont like a lot of turn cards either.

If we plan on continuing we should just pot it cause his stack is going in one way or the other.

[Sir Winalot]

I think this is ok.

this is fine. like scorcerer said, a bet would be fine if he had any type of stack.
