This is from a heads-up game. You and your opponent have been playing wearily, but aggressive pre-flop and with many continuation bets. Pots haven't been big; the aggressor usually comes off with the pot. You've done some big bluffs and won, however.

No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $10/$20
2 players

Stack sizes:
SB: $5549.57
Hero: $5244.05

Pre-flop: (2 players) Hero is BB with A, A

SB raises to $70, Hero raises to $225, SB calls.

Flop: 2 4 6 ($450, 2 players)
Hero bets $375, SB calls.

Turn: 4 ($1200, 2 players)
Hero checks, SB bets $755, Hero raises to $1755, SB raises all-in $4194.57,

What should you, the Hero, do now?





Fold (correct)
In theory, this is an easy fold, despite you having put in almost half of your stack already. In practice... well, it's not easy to fold after all. But what should your opp have? Most likely not an overpair - he'd have reraised pre-flop. You check-raise on the turn - this is a huge sign of strength, yet he goes all-in. I very seldom like the bet sequence check-raise-fold, but in this case, it's probably correct...
