This is above my level (2/3 live @ Commerce) but this looks like a push to me. Given your smallish(?) flop bet, SB could think you are betting an unimproved AK/Q. Unless he like to slowplay AA/KK or will get tricky with a set, I think you're ahead. But like I said, I'm a noob.

[edge]

If SB is AZK, he took a weird line. I think you're ahead of TT or 99 or behind KK or AA. I'd be surprised to see a set other than JJ, and that would be a strange turn action with JJ.

How aggressive is AZK? If you flat call the turn, will he fire another barrel with a weaker hand? How about an overpair? I think he's pretty aggressive from his posts, so this probably won't work.

Oh, I just realized that UTG's raise is a minraise, meaning that your reraise doesn't mean a lot. This changes the whole hand. Now I think any pocket pair is possible /images/graemlins/frown.gif

[AZK]

I don't know if this will help but I could have: 22/77/88/78/T9 or air. That's about it. I might call AJs there, but probably not for 75 cold, I also wouldn't make it past the flop with thi shand anyway unless I had a specific read on you. I like to take pots away on the turn so I most likely play air or the nuts the same way here as a opposed to a turn check-raise which is too committing

I couldn't really think of a hand I beat from a solid player that would play it like AZK did so I folded. AZK had 88.
