.50/1$ blinds at a home game. I have ~50, opponent(john) has ~60. He can be agressive at times, rather tight player.

I'm dealt AcAs in middle position. I raise 4xBB, all fold to John who re-raises 10 more. I call hoping to get most of his money in after the flop, putting him on AKs QQ or KK. Flop comes AhKh9h. He moves all in. Is this a tough call or not? And how was my preflop play? I decided by calling I would add some deceptiveness to my hand. Results later.

Hi Phixx, there is a nolimit forum, and you might get more informed advice there.

Your play on this hand looks alright to me.

Preflop play is fine.
I would definitely call on the flop unlikely he has the flush.
Was he in the blind or did you check the flop?

Sorry, wrong board. Feel free to delete this. Plus, I had no rebuy's, so keep that in mind :O

SB makes a difference
Is he the type of player to bluff preflop with suited connecters from the SB?
If so I would reconsider a call.

Well, although a decent player, he doesn't have a grasp on exactly what a good range of starting hands is. Basically, any 2 face cards are a large raise from him, in which case he could have QJ, or A with a lower heart kicker, AJ, etc. However, I do have the draw to my boat. He is possible of making these bluffs, but he knows not to do it against me.

This is a super easy call. You each put $14 in preflop and the BB folded, so the pot is $29. He bets your last $36 so you're getting 65 to 36, or about 1.8 to 1 odds on your money. In the worst case scenario where he flopped a flush you're only a 2 to 1 underdog. You only have to currently have the best hand one time in 15 or 20 to make calling correct. Folding is a disaster.

That's not exactly the description of a 'rather tight player'. It doesn't change my answer though.
