UTG: $20.15
MP: $8.25
CO: $10.10

Pre Flop: Hero is SB with K

Flop: ($3.60) 5

villains stats after 22 hands are 32/30/? They were slightly different at the time. Slightly more reasonable.

you c/f on the flop? Probably a good idea. AKo for me is a losing hand. But I'd sometimes call this even though to me now it seems like an easy fold.

this is done a lot with AK-AQ type hands which you split with often,
But all pp and 5's push as well.
you are just beaten more than you beat so fold.

This is closer than you might think. You're getting 2.5:1 on a call. If he definitelyhas an overpair (but not AA/KK) you're a 2.9:1 dog. If there's any chance he has unpaired cards like AK/AQ, you should be calling here.

If you had any kind of draw at all, even a runner-runner flush, this would be an easier call.

If you're going to put in ~45% of effective stacks pre-flop and on the flop, I'm not sure you can just fold to a raise, especially from a 32/30.

I say: call and be really annoyed when he shows JJ.
