4 days ago this was a snap call for me, but I dunno. This guy insta pushed like my cbet did not even phase him and it was literally my 2nd hand at the table (in the SB).

Poker Stars - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.02/$0.05 Blinds - 6 Players - (LegoPoker HH Converter (http://www.legopoker.com/hh))

Hero (SB): $4.95
BB: $6.66
UTG: $5.30
MP: $4.25
CO: $3.40
BTN: $5.80

Preflop: Hero is dealt http://www.legopoker.com/hh/images/cards/color/As.gif http://www.legopoker.com/hh/images/cards/color/Ks.gif (6 Players)
UTG folds, MP calls $0.05, CO calls $0.05, BTN folds, <font color="red">Hero raises to $0.30</font>, BB folds, MP calls $0.25, CO calls $0.25

Flop: ($0.95) http://www.legopoker.com/hh/images/cards/color/3d.gif http://www.legopoker.com/hh/images/cards/color/5s.gif http://www.legopoker.com/hh/images/cards/color/Ac.gif (3 Players)
<font color="red">Hero bets $0.70</font>, <font color="red">MP raises all-in to $3.95</font>, 2 folds

Pot Size: $5.60 ($0.10 Rake)

It took me a while to lay it down. I figured what I'm against (at this limit) is likely to have me beat.

A3, A5, Set are likely holdings here. Probably not AA since he didn't 3bet me preflop but I can't eliminate it from his range. Other oddball hands can't be eliminated either because afterall it is NL5. 24s, and 35s unlikely but possible hands as well.

There are idiots at this level, but I really doubt AJ/AQ/TT-KK is doing this. At best I'm splitting at AK?

This board is just way too dry for him to push with anything that doesn't rip my face off.

What do you think?

I'd insta call. I think at this level people are likely to do this with any A, you're crushing the average range, sure he might have two pair or a set but I reckon you'd win this 70%+ of the time.

Snap call. At this limit there are way more hands that you beat then you lose to that pull this move.

Apparently you don't think that if you disagree with the majority that you have to provide reasoning either. Or you're being sarcastic =)
