AQ is the most obvious. KK isn't likely, given the pre-flop action. Maybe 22, JJ or KJ and someone was going for a c/raise on the flop. But from the CO, that doesn't seem likely. I think he would bet all those hands on the flop from LP. No reads on villain? It looks so much like AQ that I guess you have to puke and fold. I don't see what he could have that you're beating, unless he's got Kx of hearts and is going loco, or maybe he picked up a combo draw. I probably deliberate for 20 seconds before painfully folding.

Please don't fold here. Most players at this level watch too much ESPN and would "slowplay" AQ here. He's not hammering it to $29 with the nuts. Most likely holding is something overplayed like KT/JT. Shove.

why isn't he hammering it to $29 with the nuts here?

if i am villian w/ AQ i am definitely raising to ~29 here, as the hand played it looks like hero is pretty strong and was either going for a ck/raise on the flop or just tripped up on the turn

as for hero, i hate to fold here.. i would definitely go into the tank on this 1

very tough spot, you have a huge hand but aren't necessarily committed yet... when in doubt puke and fold i guess

Maybe the villain does have AQ, but there are a number of top pair, 2 pair and drawing hands he could be raising you with. Get the money in. You're ahead a lot. You generally have 10 outs if you are behind. You cannot fold this in NL 50.

In all honesty, I have a tendency to overestimate my opponent's thought process. So maybe a shove is best here. That being said, I don't know what tables these guys play at, but NL50 on Stars is nit central. If he's a nit, he's not thinking his KJ or K10 are good. He's thinking the same thing you are: my opponent could have AQ. That's my main concern. A nit would flat call or make a smaller raise; they don't just push $29 into the pot. He's either a complete idiot or he's got AQ. Your guess is as good as mine, probably better because you're actually at the "table" when it happened.
