Reads: Villain is really loose preflop, mostly limping, sometimes raising. Postflop, he's actually a pretty solid player. Seems like a strong hand reader, I've been playing w/ him about 4 hours now.

Stacks: He has $95 to start, I cover.

Folds to me, I raise to $10 in MP w/ A

, villain in the CO and button are the only callers. Flop comes A

. I bet $19, villain shoves pretty quickly. Hero?

fairly easy call, and your bet on the flop is to small, im making it 30 there, with all those draws on board.

PSR 3, so theoretically a pretty easy call.

Need a few more reads on Villain to make up my mind though. I am not into needlessly spewing chips. What do you think is Villain's open calling range vs. open raising range from CO facing a 5x PFR? Would he flat KQ? What about AK? AT? What is your table image?

Call, top pair second kicker, nut gutshot draw, on a wet draw heavy board. + Your cbet looks weak.

I'm not saying your always good here, as he does have AJ and AT in his range alot, but add in all the pair+fds, nfds, 89, Q9, weaker aces etc to his range and I think you have to call.

I am curious why this hand is posted, because there isn't really much room for discussion. Villain's range is huge, and the range remains huge on the flop, especially without any other information given.

I find this thread to be very very low content as well.
