321 Hand Early ish On

I think stack size is pretty important here, how deep where the other players? I guess your stack is larger than 10k after winning two showdown pots with Aces, so if the Old Boy has 10k+ then I like the preflop call, I think it's a standard position to setmine for me. When the Villain flats behind you his stack is approx 8625, "Villain hasnt shown anything out of line and hasnt played that many pots." Feels more like JJ/TT (and sometimes AKo/99) and isn't sure what to do and wants to play a pot with position. Old boys raise EP could be scary and with your call he could even have reasons to flat QQ here.

On the Flop I like the call, you are giving the EP raiser a chance to bet again on the turn and also giving the chance to get a third stack in the pot which may well win you a gigantic pot. On the turn the lead is mandatory I think, your flop play set this up (hopefully with the intention of getting it in on the river) and the villain shoves with no real fold equity so he ain't bluffing. It's possible he's doing it with a hand like 78s (depending on turn suit) where he feels a shove is better than calling this is unlikely and player dependant though. I feel you can't really pass, if he's got then good beats, I don't think your intentions were to bet/fold when you bet so call, I think he'll show you JJ etc enough of the time (and some people could be "Tricky Bastards" with AA here!) to warrant it.
