no reads on villain. I don't really think he's doing this with the bare ace. i think he's pretty much got either 44 or Q2. what do you think?

any advice welcome

No reads seems as though hes trying to show strength by reraising but they are min raises. AA QQ and even AQ seem unlikely seeing villain didnt raise. 44 and Ax's seem to be likely cadidates here. I think I would call and re-evaluate the turn.

Does anyone push here?

I push and if I lose to 44 then thats tough luck.

when these situation come up i try to remind myself to never go broke in an unraised pot, unfortunately this is normally after going broke /images/graemlins/blush.gif

Given the action villian seems to really like his hand. Since no reads, i would consider how the table is playing; are players really aggro or passive? on a aggro table villian may limp in EP hoping to trap or on a passive table villian may limp because they don't want their "big" hands to only pick up the blinds. also if the table is really loose where everyone comes along vs an EP raise than villian maynot want to build a pot oop with a hand that only improves 1/3 time (AQ, AK) and have to fold.

I think 44 is out because you also have a four so that leaves AA, QQ, AK &amp; AQ only hand you're beating is AK which still could improve... so i fold.

i think i call on the flop after the reraise. Still going to be in a tough spot when he bets turn though.

I would probably just call down and lose half my stack.
