I think Fat Afghan needs no introduction on these forums. He knows who I am (if he's noticed). What's my move? Is this a spot to be calling for a split at best and possibly way way behind?

Well its a pretty awful call w/ 55 or 22 preflop and while he had a fair amount of leaks, silly preflop play wasn't one of them iirc. So i just get it in and assume its a split

This.

Would indeed be a very silly set mine pf, so got to be AK.
If not spite-call him a few times to compensate..

What about AA? He has flatted me before with AA in a multiway pot.

Anyway i think he probably played the flop badly, and maybe he has AQ here once in a bluemoon

Regardless w/ that much in the pot after pre/postflop we can't fold against him unless we are going to give him 55/22 in his range

i'd be more worried about AKhh than sets and like echo i'd expect him to have the same hand a lot and not fold

Other possibility: missclickaments. I mean why does he even do a funky minraise to 1000 with only 350 behind.

Prob has AK as well imo and trying to level by the min raise to get u off AK.

Don't know his game, but could be 55 as well if he knows the limpers will come along as well. Although I think flatting for another 120 here is not good with small pp. And IIRC (from others) he is decent.

I don't think I could fold here, I can't see what else he has except AK (maybe AA once in a while)

i had ak too. i think it's the only hand i'd ever show up with here (if not, like 99% of the time). when op bets the flop here i think it's pretty obvious we have the same hand (i think AA would check or bet less and KK-TT wouldn't c-bet 4 handed, AQ possibly) so i thought i'd try an audacuious minbet to take it down.

I know people really like better implied odds to set mine but I don't think that calling 120 more would be atrocious especially 3 handed.

M is your stack relative to the blinds and antes.

Hero (SB) (t1470)

SB 15, BB 30

1470/45 = 32.6666666666666666666
