Default Should I have folded here? Do you ever get tired of folding?

$5 6 handed.
I didn't have an idea what villain had, just what he didn't have which was a ten or an ace.
Ten: Would not have bet out. Would probably have check called
Ace: I just didn't think he had an ace.



Ultimate Bet No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (3 handed) Hand History converter Courtesy of PokerZion.com

Hero (t3490)
SB (t1410)
BB (t4100)

Preflop: Hero is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t90</font>, SB calls t75, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>.

Flop: (t210) T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets t1320 (All-In)</font>, Hero calls t1320.

Turn: (t2850) 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

River: (t2850) K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

Final Pot: t2850

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
Hero has Ad 8c (two pair, aces and tens).
SB has Qs Jc (straight, ace high).
Outcome: SB wins t2850. </font>

I fold, its fairly likely he is on a draw or has nothing, but he probably shows up with Ax fairly often too. Tx seems unlikely. The blinds are just so low still that you are deep enough to easily find better spots.

This thought crossed my mind after the hand was over.

Not so easy when you're facing constant all-ins, re-raises, etc..
But that's an issue for another post..

I did end up winning this one.

??? You included results and villain had QJ and rivered the straight. There is actually some good discussion in this thread, but you should not include results - in spots like this it just makes me think that you're complaining about a bad beat as much as you're looking for strategy advice.

There has to be some reasoning involved here. If you're asking a question, don't post what you in fact did...

seems to me he was on a flush draw or a baby ace, a T most likely wouln't have pushed...or he was pushing w/ air... i'd still stronlgy consider calling

You're ahead such a huge percentage of the time here. It's a flush draw or str8 draw most of the time, underpairs or air. I call too, especially at this level.

Call. If he is shoving this with a T or a better Ace, then he is so terrible and just make sure you get into as many games with him as possible.
