Default Moved up to 50nl.. Am i making mistakes?

I used to win these at 25nl... Is this a fundamental error?
What other improvements can i make at 50nl? I know this one hand doesn't tell the whole story, but it's just one example:

Absolute Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.25/$0.50
5 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $51.97
NYYRico38: $52.65
Button: $26.22
SB: $72.85
BB: $48.65

Pre-flop: (5 players) NYYRico38 is CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
UTG calls, <font color="#cc0000">NYYRico38 raises to $2.5</font>, 2 folds, BB calls, UTG calls.

Flop: A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($7.75, 3 players)
BB checks, UTG checks, <font color="#cc0000">NYYRico38 bets $7</font>, <font color="#cc0000">BB raises all-in $46.15</font>, UTG folds, NYYRico38 calls.

You have a pair of aces,
There is an ace of the board, your opponent is telling you he can beat your pair of aces.

You have to play the opponent there, there is no reason to even think about that call because of the amount in the pot unless your sure he is on a diamond draw at best or lower ace. Did you have his stats?

Oh yeah and mix in a couple of diamond draws maybe some with combinations of gutshots.

Call is fine IMO. Don't be results oriented.

Also reads/stats are real important here. If villain is a postflop nit I'm obv not gonna call.

whoa, don't you think he could be defending his set against a flush also? I think on the whole we are behind most of the time to make it a -ev call

Fiksdal
his range is like sets/2pair here without history
Calling this without history of the guy overbetting is setting money on fire(especially when you have the ace of diamonds yourself [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] )

I'm obviously not taking sets/AT/A4 out of his range. I'm just saying Ax is also making up a big part of it.

I think this is a +EV call, but not a real clear cut decision.

gobby:

A nit is a player who needs very strong cards to put money in the pot

I was intrigued by this post. I originally felt this was a fold hand, and against someone who is basically unknown, I would probably fold.

I think the main thing that gets you to call in this situation is a read. Theres definately a lot of hands he pushes here that haven't beaten AK yet or are unlikely to beat AK (like AX with the exception of AK - AT - A4)
