Agreed, but betting A2 on this board is thin value, and we lose to them. Also, this is not a small bet. This is $50 into $77, which is a much more polarizing bet size than you will typically see with Qx type hands that we could beat here. Sure, he could just be an idiot that doesn't know how to bet size, but it's generally not wise to base our calling decision on that until we know it.

Not really. Our hand looks exactly like what it is. We raised preflop, bet the flop, then checked the turn when we can't even beat top pair. Pretty standard line so far with KK/KQ, which are effectively the same hand here.

Check the board again. It's AQTT7. We lose to KJ and KT. With the QT of hearts on the board, there are a lot fewer heart combos that he likely plays that we can beat here than if it were 2 low hearts on the board. We also lose to all Ax of heart hands. I've discounted Qx hands a bit because 1) we block KQ, and 2) the bet sizing is inconsistent with a middling hand.
