£100 f/o- we're down to 14

There are 14 left so i am going to take a stab in the dark and say 7 handed....

Yep, after reading the title i think that's a reasonable stab at the situation, wp.

Some people do get ultra-defensive when it comes to their blinds at this sort of stage. So does the bb actually wait until he's hit with his bigger ace before getting all aggressive and trying to push you off the pot ensuring he doesn't make any money? Or would such a person get all aggressive pre-flop and just try and push you off the pot in the first place? If he's pushing with a biggish Ace now that you've checked he would push 100% of the time pre-flop.

You will be ahead a lot of the time here so it's a straightforward call for me. Likely you're splitting with A-3 though.

Interesting replies and I do appreciate them. We are seven handed - clever dude the flush meister :-)

OK, the BB was Dave Courtney - he'd been at the table for a couple of orbits maybe. Does the player change your pre or post flop play - btw - I insta called, to use the vernacular.

In fact flop coming down, check, all-in, call was probably around a second all told

Dave is a serial bluffer/mover, he could make this move with any part of the board. I would be far more inclined to snap call against this oppo

Maybe he's using this image to his advantage with pushes like this?

[TightEnd]

of course, play against him regularly and he's a fantastic chip getter

but, in my experience he's not gonig to have an Ace here with this push

Think the oppo and my perception of Dave was the problem for me here.

The fact he didn't reraise me pre had me thinking that he can't have any kind of paint, pair or Ace. If Ihit my A I was sure I must be ahead.

With hindsight I can try to put him on KT or JQ (the only 2 hands he could have had beating me that he might have flatted with pre) and find a pass. In truth I don't have the edge over players like Dave and a few of the others left at the time to think that through and pass there so reasonably happy with the post flop play.

He had K10 of course - not much of a beat really so my interest was probably more in a critique of the preflop play.

Cheers chaps
