Default What is this guy misplaying?

100/200

Villain has not done anything exceptional that I have seen in the few hours that I have played with him. He is running good and wearing sunglasses. He does not play too many hands preflop, and has no other glaring weaknesses that I have been able to diagnose at this point. I am blowing at this point, and likely stuck 8K in the game. I have no idea if he is aware of this.

1 guy limps, I limp J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] in MP, villain limps the button, blinds come along. I think it was 5 ways to the flop. Maybe 6. Whatever.

flop: K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
checks to me and I bet, button calls and maybe a limper calls.

As the turn is being dealt, villain says "ace". I have no idea what this means.

turn: 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

I bet, villain now raises (if anyone was in the pot behind me, they are gone now), I do what and why and what on earth does this guy have that makes any sense at all?

Maybe he over limped with AQo. Calling for the ace particularily makes me think so. He didn't *really* need it, but it wouldn't hurt him either. Get it?

Overlimping AQo is a possibility, but I don't think it is likely from what I have seen of villain. Besides, given the board, I'd be surprised if he didn't raise the flop here, as there are a lot of action-killing cards that can come on the turn. How on earth does an ace not hurt him?!?!? It may cost him 1/2 the pot.

Well, it's a rainbow flop and he'd have the nuts with AQ. The worst that can happen on the turn is someone hitting a 3-outer to chop (3-outer to them. Possibly 6 total outs, but it certainly doesn't have to be nearly that many).

He could be hoping for someone to c/r the flop. I wouldn't say this line would have to be a misplay. Yeah, he's passing up EV by not raising pf, which he should usually do. But I don't think it's terrible to limp with AQo here. Especially if good players are already in.

[edit:] Or... If someone flopped two pair they have 4 outs to pull ahead on the turn. Still, I don't think just calling the flop is terrible here with AQ. All hypothetical anyway, cuz I'm prolly wrong about the AQ! -lol)

Does he really have AQ? Maybe KQ, thinks he is ahead and wants to take control.

Probably just call and c/c the river. Given preflop action seems like we are about 50/50. If we weren't running bad, we might even bet out on the river if no scare card came.

I think the call for an ace means he has Q-9.

Well that sucks. Now we are drawing to our f--k'n four outer. Are we folding to the turn raise?

It's a fold, now.

But would a guy who seemingly plays well really have that hand in this spot??? I just don't think so, which is why I am so befuddled.

All I know is that people very rarely call for a card they need.
