Would villian ever flat call with AA KK QQ maybe AK on button?

Given that you raised UTG I think you can lay this down. He has to fear a bigger hand and it doesn't sound either of you have been getting too out of line.

Also, given the board texture a lot of his flush draws will be combo draws. This weakens your equity the times you do happen to be ahead and gives him extra non-flush outs which will make the turn very difficult to play if you do decide to call.

But now let's say he has been getting out of line though. Which line is better, or is too opponent dependent?
a) Shove AI (what I usually do to OOP like in this hand).
b) Call flop with the intention of check/raising as long as a scare card doesn't hit.
c) Call flop and donking AI all safe turns.

I guess you should donk safe turn if his AF is low say <1 and crai if its high.

Also i prefer to crai on turn as opposed to shove flop becasue he still is betting most of his draws on turn but if a blank comes all of villians draws loose much of thier equity.

Well seems like lots of people shove here, that's just what I did. Villain had Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] and amazingly the turn/river bricked.

Fold. I think at best he has the same hand as you which is unlikely. Here this player would raise JJ, 99, 33 or even slowplaying AA-KK. His stats show me though that he raises a lot but calls with mid to smaller pairs. Since you are raising UTG he just might call with TT-22 here. Also notice the size of his raise. If he has a hand like TT would he raise sooooo much just to get information? He wouldnt need to. This smells like AA-KK (let say you have been stealing a lot and from the looks of your stats I say yes so he puts you as very aggressive... or a set 99, 33 and he is protecting his hand in case of a draw.
