Default Fold aces with king kicker for 3.50 on the flop?

Villain is 40/16 over a small sample of hands. He had about 2.5 buyins when I showed up but had two big pairs cracked by medium stack flopped sets. I am running around 20/18 and he has folded to a cbet twice and a second barrel once in our three hands thus far. I have also yet to show down a hand as the table has been passive.

I guess I am fine with the fold but should I have just pitched it on the flop. It seems nitty but really, I have shown huge strength by betting into so many players thus his reraise seems to say that he can beat one pair. I called the raise even though I don't think I can stack off here unless a king comes and even then I might still be behind.

If you've been pretty aggressive, i think he can play back at you with much less.

I call here like 8/10

I am normally pretty aggro postflop so if the flop was heads up I would get it in against most opponents but with four people taking a look at the flop I start to get real hesitant when I get played back at this strongly. I beat AQ, AJ, and air while there are a bunch of hands that sb could call with that own me here.

4 players in the hand, I don't see how you can feel 1 pair here is good with that kinda action. This is one of those hands you feel you should win but your almost always beat.

uh call flop fold turn is terrible. where did u think the money was going after the flop minraise? This is so ugly. I call turn cuz I think there's a decent chance he's tilted. Plus it sounds like ur image was somewhat bluffy versus him.

Yeah I guess in this case there are a number of factors warranting a call. My image, our history, and his big stack vaporizing all lead to calling. Readless I think I should fold a good amount of the time. But I definitely agree one hundred percent that calling the reraise and folding the turn is pure crap. I need to make my decision on the flop.

Exactly my thoughts. Call is a big gamble, but you do have a fairly strong hand to go with a crazy history. You have made yourself look like a extreme LAG with the prior hands. Call and hope for a weaker A.
