I'd like to say that this question was laid out perfectly, with enough information to make a sound decision. (I got it right too). I'd probably be to stubborn to lay this done is most situations. (I finish second a lot). The blinds are so low that there's no reason to play for it all with such a weak holding.

I was thinking about it a lil bit before i finally mucked my aces it was hard but what could he have that he called the preflop bet well just about any two cards. Then after the flop he continued to call without a raise so i kind of put the idea of either a straight or a draw out of my mind. He may have 2 pair at the flop with a 4 and when the 4 turned gave him a fullhouse. I am thinking I am beat only cus he went allin. I may even call the bet if i thought he was overplaying 2 pair but what I see is a minimum of trips. The biggest deciding factor is that the blinds were only 10/20 and I can slow the play down and come back from such a loss. But knowing me I am gonna get pissed and say screw it and push them in with him even though I know its wrong cus I am emotional. And why is that not a choice going allin and tilting and throwing the cards at him.

If he had a four I would have crashed and burned. Maybe I'm wrong to think this way, and I probably am, but heads up, he would need one of two fours or called a preflop raise with 3-5 to beat me. I feel that heads up, with aces, it's a risk worth taking. They said I had gotten away with a few big bluffs before. It could be this guy is taking his turn and I have a decent hand to catch him with. Either way, I bet he was just holding a 6.

head to head your opponent could be on anything with a 4. cant believe im saying it, but i absolutely agree with quizzys logic on this one.

I thought about this for a while...I chose to fold.

I would have to say he hit a straight or hit a set of 6s otherwise he would not have gone all in or a really really good bluff - but I doubt it. Either way, fold it, lost quite a bit, but can work to make it back in HU.

Ditto. Tough lay down but I have to. If he played me for a sucker, well ................ nice hand sir.

Sorry im new here, but where is the question??????

I was thinking along these same lines until I thought about how many times I've played A4 suited down to J4 suited heads up. This is especially true if there's a lot of post-flop agression because of how much you get paid if you flush or hit trips.

He bumped it up 3.5 x BB with 66 preflop and called your raise in position to see what happens. He smooth-called after hitting the set on flop, made the boat on the turn, and now he's putting you on the overpair and hopes you'll pay him off in a big way.
