Crappy paired board situation...

[BrassMonkey]

This is a situation that I really hate. You raise pre-flop with Ax, and a semi-spastic, tricky player with whom you've played before calls in the BB calls. The board pairs, and you get check/raised, possibly leaving you with few outs if you're behind. Sometimes he'll three-barrel his own ace high. Under what circumstances do you continue, and how far do you usually call down?

Depends on dynamics. If he has seen you call down with A high on paired board recently I would find a fold if I thought he'd realize it.

I think calling down here with Ax always is a mistake if you have a SD bound image.

Given your description I play it like you and I would see a SD UI. Next time tho I will just call his flop c/r and then fold turn UI

if the T didnt fall I would have fold, but since it fell im playing the same

These boards are like Q72 boards. Everybody knows they are good bluffing boards. I agree with Oink that playing these spots all comes down to meta and dynamics.
