Hi all,
I guess hands like these get posted a fair bit, I searched around for similar threads but there wasn't to much responses in them... I'll post the hand and then my thoughts, interested to hear comments on my thought processes / if you would call/fold and why.
Villan is 30/6 over ~100 hands, Flop AF of 3.

Button ($74.95)
SB ($42.71)
BB ($15.15)
UTG ($74.51)
Hero ($30.75)
Preflop: Hero is MP with A/images/graemlins/spade.gif, A/images/graemlins/club.gif.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $1</font>, Button calls $1, SB calls $0.90, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>.
Flop: ($3.25) 5/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, T/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 6/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets $2</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $5.5</font>, Button calls $74.95 (All-In), SB folds, Hero...
Basically if SB had called I was folding, so now I have a decision to make. When villan has got involved in a big pot he usually has some sort of made hand, but can sometimes not be the nuts (i.e. he earlier won a huge pot with 2 pair on drawy board). I really struggled to put him on a set, im not sure why you would just shove like that with a set, but it's possible with the cold call pre-flop action I suppose? Obvious hands also are KK-QQ, I thought also a flush draw was a possibility but I hold the A:spades: so not sure how likely this is.
I'm also getting 1.5:1 or so, so I think this has to be a draw or KK-QQ a big % of the time for a call.
Is a call marginal here given the odds and likely holdings, or do people find a fold?
Thanks all
