This sure seemed like a frustrated, short Big Ace that picked up a gutshot on the turn and went crazy. Make sense to you?

Tip,

I don't like this hand at all.

I don't like the flop raise as only better hands call/3bet and worse hands fold.

Since you did raise the flop and got called. I couldn't call the PSB on the turn.

I call the flop and see what happends on the turn.

As played, I fold the turn easily.

It certainly could be just Ax. However, it certainly is more likely to be an overpair. I am not a big fan of the flop raise. You could make it a little smaller (to put pressure on him but not build a big pot) or you could just call. Once he calls your flop raise unpaired hands are a small part of his range and when he bets the turn he probably has you beat.

Flop raise is fine IMO. But you really have to fold that turn dude.

When he calls the flop reraise I am done with the hand.
Fold turn.

If you've got a read, go with it. A big ace seems possible to me, but his stats are solid. I'm just wondering if this player calls your flop raise with just a big ace.

QFT, gotta see where your at and when you find out then it is time to fold.

I like the flop raise, but once he pushs the turn I think its an easy fold.
