Something screams set to me, but I can't get away from top 2 at this level, hoping the guy's holding some sort of strong Ace or diamond draw.

I think most villains do this with any Ace (TP is the nutz!), so I think it's fine.

How loud is the scream? In the absence of any other information, this line looks fine to me but I think you do need to factor a read in here which could swing your decision depending on the strength. So if you're playing against a complete rock, this is an easy fold to the flop raise I think. I'm often guilty of not paying attention to that little voice which says I'm behind. I think there was a nice thread somewhere on the problem we all have with making the right read and then not following through with the corresponding correct decision.

plz, start posting stats.

seems fine. this can easily be A6, /images/graemlins/diamond.gif draw, ax

Everything looks good and i would say you were in front on the flop so definite call.

Could easily be a big ace, a lot of players will just flat call with AQ,AJ or even AK. Had it happen to me numerous times when I was holding AQ on button and villain had AK.
