Default Is there any chance I\'m not way behind here $11

A hand or 2 before this I had suited connectors and hit a straight on the river to beat villian out of a pot. He got snippy in the chat and out of character for me, I argued back at him. I told him he gave me the right pot odds to call with my draw with his weak bets. He was definitely mad at me.

Is there any way I can think I have the best hand here?


Ultimate Bet No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (6 handed) converter

CO (t1695)
Button (t4025)
Hero (t2725)
BB (t2245)
UTG (t1820)
MP (t2490)

Preflop: Hero is SB with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, CO calls t100, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: (t300) A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t300</font>, BB folds, CO is all in, Hero ??

Plus:
AJ+ should be open-raising PF (as might A8,88,66)
He's a little bent out of shape

Neg:
Pretty bold move over your full pot lead. If HE thinks you're a donk (which he apparently does) - does he do this, knowing you stand a good chance of calling...without a made hand? Dunno.

I don't think calling to find out is horrible [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Ps. Personally, I'd be looking to c/r this flop.

I would be surprised to see AK-AJ from him, given he limps from CO. I think most of the time you are up against a worse A. that means ur afraid of A8 and A6 but I think a call is good here, I don't think you are behind too often

I'm less afraid of 88 and 66 here because of his all-in...most people IMO will miniraise or slowplay this...I think he clearly wants a fold here... he might even just have an 8 if he's steaming.

t1300 into a t600 pot is tough, but I think you definitely have +EV with a call here.

I think I would raise preflop here in fact. Not all-in or anything silly, just to say t400.
