Default 200NL KK atleast I managed to isolate

$1/$2 at my local house game.

SB: $200
BB (Hero): $120
UTG: $70
4 Seat: $250
5 Seat: $200
6 Seat: $55
7 Seat: $475
8 Seat: $125
BTN: $415

Reads: Game is pretty loose and a lot of poor players trying to see flops for cheap. Seat 7 is a very solid player who is normally a winner. 5 Seat is also a very good player who just lost with a set to the BTN who hit a flush on the turn and has just bought back in for 200.

Preflop: Hero is dealt K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
UTG and Seat 4 fold.
<font color="red"> Seat five raises to 8 </font> Seat 6 folds <font color="red"> Seat 7, 8, and BTN call </font> SB folds
Pot is $35
<font color="red"> Hero raises to $70 </font>
Seat 5 folds <font color="red"> Seat 7 calls </font> Everyone else folds.

Flop: ($170) A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 10 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Hero does what? It's very possible he just thought I was on a steal but if he did why didn't he just go over top right there? Is it possible that he has a pair like 10s or Js? Do I throw in my last 50 due to the pot odds and pray that he folds or do I just concede defeat by checking and folding when he definitely goes all in because there is an ace on board. Next time this happens do I just push all in preflop?

Flop is an easy push here. He'll make a crying call with queens or jacks here almost always. check/folding really isn't an option given your stack size relative to the pot size. You should never raise to that much preflop intending to not shove the flop.

At this point you are committed. He's never folding an ace. And he may feel committed with queens and call an all-in.

I probably just shove.

Do whatever you think he calls with a wider range preflop. The flop is kinda immaterial here, it would be ridiculous for him to fold just about anything on the flop, so it's equivalent to getting stacks in preflop.
