I am a mid 30s black guy. Already this gives me a FOS image at the table. Add in that I am aggresive in position, will 3 bet instead of being the 4th person to overcall etc means that a lot of the Vs can't wait to crack me. So that's the image I have.
I am in the SB with A
K
I have $500. UTG limps, UTG+1 limps, next guy limps, HJ limps, cutoff limps, button limps. Standard raise is $15-20, $25-$30 usually takes it down or maybe gets one called. Being in early position and knowing one call is going to lead to a bunch and adding my my FOS image I make it $40, the largest opening since i sat down 90 minutes ago.
BB calls, UTG calls (V), UTG+1 calls, all else fold. FML! At this point i just smile to myself and SMH, it is what it is. Flop

At this point im not to upset with the flop. Not really connected, I have the nut draw, I actually Don't have to throw this way. My plan is to check raise anyone who bets and get it in if need be (thoughts?, I mean besides the BB both of these guys limp called 40)
BB checks, V shoves for 380 bucks. Folds to me.
Now this villain is a older white dude but NOT omc. He has called EVERY raise i have made and earlier i saw him bet 15 bucks into a young lady who raised to 50 with the nuts and he shoved on her for like 350 more. There was an A on board, he had pocket jacks...
So this previous hand, plus the fact that he open shoved let me believe this was an insta call, even with the BB still in the hand, who is actually pretty fit or fold himself. Thoughts?
