AA. When is enough enough?

Yeah, he could also have Jacks sometimes, or maybe queens. I don't see how you can fold for one bet in this pot, and I also don't see how you can consider raising, given that the only thing that could possibly accomplish is to get exactly AA to fold his half of the pot...maybe.....

I'm not considering raising. My opponent thinks I am (I believed him too, when he said this.)

Folding is terrible. Are you 90, 95% certain you are beat? Hell, nothing in life is so certain, definitely not at a 3/6 live table. Pot is large. At least call if you're worried. Maybe he has AK/AJ or hearts, which you can beat.

Or you lose, but it's easily worth that one last call to find out. I'd say you win more than 5/10% of the time - I really do not like to fold the one last big bet in a big pot (heads-up especially), I will sometimes call with A high in this situation if villian is LAGgy enough (missed semi-bluff/draw) and the pot is huge. If he has you beat he beat you a while ago and not on this one last river bet. Plus the table talk did not scare me and may have been intended to. I am no expert just regurgitating what I read in "Small Stakes Hold 'Em".
