Default $50 HUSNG -- I have Aces. My opponent has?

Opponent here is fairly aggressive but not stupidly so. He doesnt have a great record prior to this game.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (2 handed) internettexasholdem.com

Hero (t1675)
BB (t1325)

Preflop: Hero is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t90</font>, BB calls t60.

Flop: (t180) 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets t120</font>, Hero calls t120.

Turn: (t420) 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets t1115 (All-In)</font>, Hero ?

Comments on all streets? What do you put my opponent on?

On the flop there is 90+90+ 120 = 300 before it's your turn to act . You were the original raiser and yet he's bet into you another 120 on the flop . I believe a healthy raise on the flop is in order here in the hopes that he may have a middle pocket pair that may pay you off . It makes your turn decisions much easier once you put the onus back on him . Now in this instance , you're in a quandary as to what to do .

How aggressive has this opponent been so far ? Certainly there is no correct way to deal with a situation like this . Much of your decision has nothing to do with your hole cards and every bit to do with your opponents tendencies .

if my opponent just called on the flop i would be able to confidently read him for an overpair like TT+ or a spade draw. the spades got there on the turn but they don't slow him down. at the same time he can't have the nut flush since you have the As. i feel like he has 33, 22 or maybe 44, broadway spades for the flush (JT+) are also squarely in his range. i'd fold.

no way he has 33, 22, or 44 and I find it hard to believe that he has a flush here i would put him on 56, 46 or an overpair....CALL

i think if you posted the whole hand history or atleast the last 10-15 hands before this, it would be a more interesting post

Yeah, if this guy has a hand like a flush or a full house, he'd slowplay a bit more, rather than going all-in and getting no value. He might bet out and bet the turn, but not an all-in bet. The all-in bet says "I'm protecting something vulnerable" like red Tens or something. I would call, and expect to see a smaller overpair.

He either has 3 twos or a small flush and is protecting his hand against a larger flush draw.

Fold to the overbet.
