Default Live 2/5NL Uncapped..

This was about a week ago at cesars 2/5 NL uncapped..

about 11 AM... i have about ~850 behind

I raise utg+1 to 25 with AQo..

Mp calls, CO calls...

Flop Q-10-x

I lead for 50... Mp folds... CO makes it 125 to go...
CO, just sat 1 hand ago, and is an old guy with beady eyes and about 900 behind...

I think i should fold here.. but I call and re-evaluate turn....

So pot is ~300..

Turn total low brick....

I check, CO INSTA-INSTA shovees for ~800 more...

I puke, show, then fold...

I get berrated because he was obviously bluffing with his giant overbet, and his beady eyes surely make this possible...

Thoughts and better lines please?

I did want the table to see my hand, because there were 2 very good players at the table whom I wanted opinions from, and I wanted to see how the old man reacted....

I think i folded a winner obviously, but how can I call that shove?

The worst part of it all, is that the old man immediately changed tables, for the hit and run...

i'm not sure i would be able to call that shove either... esp since no reads (other than his eyes)...

his pf reraise is pretty strong...

how are you so sure he was bluffing?

Played fine imo, but do not show your cards.

You missed his point...

If you are folding and showing that you are folding in spots like this, especially with a couple of good players on the table, you have just rolled out the red carpet invetation to blow you off every hand you play.

As for the hand and the big call or fold... Honestly this is really a situation that a text based forum can not completely "translate" from a live game.

I have been in similar spots and beat them into the pot and others, beat them into the muck. It is truely a read based thing when someone tossed a bet out there like that.
