Villain is completely unknown and on 2 of my tables.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $6 BB (5 handed) internettexasholdem.com

MP ($591)
Button ($1314)
Hero ($603)
BB ($292.80)
UTG ($631)

Preflop: Hero is SB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
1 fold, MP raises to $21.1, 1 fold, Hero raises to $72, 1 fold, MP calls $50.90.

Flop: ($150) 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets $126, MP raises to $300, Hero..

I made a somewhat large bet on the flop thinking that he would be more apt to go crazy with a hand like 88 or AK than if I bet $80-$90. After talking to another poster though, $80-$90 probably would have been a better bet.

Okay, so he makes a small raise on me, not something I really expected. He could be doing this as a cheap bluff, could be sucking me in with AA. How do you react?

assuming this is your typically snug 3/6, fold jacks, push kings, and queens? blah. you should probably fold.

Yeah i shove here like always, if he was like making it a small raise wanting a shove and thought you would think you had FE over this raise then I just note it, but first time around I get it in, better to just lose the BI than to be in the dark/weaktight

huh?

oh and shove,

your equity definately isn't great, but its enough to justify gambling for this bloated pot, also if you are playing as you normally do, folding in this big of a pot will really hurt what you are trying to accomplish at the table.

This is a spot that no one can ever really know the best answer, so it's a shove, because there's no gamble in folding.
