I really feel like he could be on a steal here, but I could also see him turning over AK. Would anyone advocate calling here?

[udbrky]

Not unless he was suuuuuuuuperrrrrrrrrr lag. Like doing this with any pair, any ace, most kings, some queens, and some other random cards, and I was getting like 2:1. I dunno, I hate playing that big of a pot, for that many of my chips with an AJ, even suited.

[J.A.K.]

You are good against 88+/KQ. If you feel he is capable of a pure steal then call.

[nbt23]

needless to say he went on to shove my next 2 raises...on the second raise I decided to call with 66 only to run into his QQ. Looking back on it knowing the type of player he is now, I think I should have called with the AJ.

When you raise in late position you should've always have a plan in mind before you decide to raise how you're going to respond to a re-raise from any remaining players left to act.

In your situation, I'm raising here w/ the intention of calling a push from anyone of the remaining players because two of them (button and BB) have perfect stacks for restealing and can be pushing wide, and if the SB pushes I'm obv calling because he's so short.

Buy-in? Any reads? I think its a call but I dont think a fold is awful.

[SeattleSinner]

Not knowing that much about the player, I don't think you can call a re raise all-in. There aren't many hands which you will be good against. If you have previously seen him pushing a lot, I guess you need to make a stand.

[nbt23]

It was a $10/180...I didn't have any reads at the time, but after playing a few more hands I was able to tell that he was solid player and was definitely capable of stealing in this spot with a wide range of hands. I agree that if I am raising in this position I should probably call either of the players all-ins

I call. Some rough estimate with his range is:

Hand 0: 43.737% 38.70% 05.03% 257126576 33450632.00 { AJs }
Hand 1: 56.263% 51.23% 05.03% 340346112 33450632.00 { 77+, ATs+, KJs+, AJo+, KQo }

Okay, sometimes he doesn't push ATs or AJo or KQo etc but some of the time his range is much wider as it's a pretty good spot for him to resteal.

Maths says you have to win 40.2% of the time with no antes, and lower with, so I think you have to call.

Good analysis. Would the villain be less likely to re-steal with the more marginal hands, given that Hero has him covered?
