UTG raises to 2.2 BB, fold, MP calls 2.2 BB, fold, fold, fold, Hero calls 2.2 BB, fold, BB calls 1.2 BB

Is it just too obvious I'm up against a stronger Ace here? Anybody call to see the river?

I'd say with the sizing/stakes theres always a chance vil is butchering a big-med pocket pair. Still gotta be a fold though.

I think it's a pretty easy fold with 2 Vs still in the hand - I'm probably calling with just one V although not loving it even in this situation

Honestly, I wouldn´t fold. I would play x/c. The chance of a better ace combo is significantly decreased due to the two aces on the flop and the one you hold. You block a better ace-combo. Villain could bet out with something like KK, QQ, JJ or even a worse ace. We are in a 1 Dollar tourney: most Villains are very bad at pre- and postflop play and bet when they shouldn´t.

I am brave - I call!

I think it's thin, but I'm x/c'ing down here with this sizing. I see a lot of pockets flat here and UTG could easily be continuing with a big pocket pair not believing there is an ace out there. I think if one of them jam the river I'm letting it go, but as long as it plays out like the turn I'm feeling good calling down.
