25NL: AK gets shoved

[Check_The_Nuts]

Pretty sure this hand is losing a lot more than it should. Mostly because I end up folding hands like these (IMO). How do you play this one?

Button has only played like 16 hands. His attention to steal blinds is 75% (3/4 times, big deal). Pretty weird flop for him to shove.

Even if he only has a pair you are a dog, fold.

Overpair most likely. He probably only thinks in 1st level. If he thinks on the second level, if he hit a set, a shove makes sense if you have AA or KK, you will probably call. If it's a bluff, it would probably come from the diamond flush draw.

Also you say he steals blinds a lot. Maybe he's just doing that with random hands and hit 2 pairs. Who knows, it's too sparadic to predict. He might just do this thinking he'll shove on the flop no matter what comes.
