Sat down around 10 hands ago. Villain is bigstack of the table - he probably sees me as a bit LAG, as I've raised 3 or 4 of the 10 hands PF, and contination betted the hands.
Is this a fold, given the board & SB's check-raise? Call and see a turn? What is your action if a heart hits? Non-heart? T?

BB ($81.55)
UTG ($162.95)
MP ($58.56)
Hero ($102.80)

Preflop: Hero is CO with A/images/graemlins/spade.gif, A/images/graemlins/heart.gif. SB posts a blind of $0.50.

SB's hand range is limited by the fact that you hold 2 of the aces. To me this makes it likely that he has a medium pocket pair or suited connector. If you call, you've gotta call $17 to win $42 so you are getting better than 2.5:1. SB's check-raise is a good bet because it could represent many hands.
KK is unlikely because he probably would have reraised preflop.
QQ is unlikely for the same reason as KK.
JJ is a distinct possibility.
TT is a distinct possibility.
99 is a distinct possibility.
QJs is a distinct possibility.
JhTh is a distinct possibility.
T9 is a distinct possibility.
89s is unlikely unless he is very aggro.
7h8h is a distinct possibility.
Barring a good read, I probably fold here.

I lost a stack w/ AA on a similar flop (albeit rainbow) yesterday. Dont make my same mistake. FOLD.
I'd probably fold...just cut your loss right there, way too many draws/or possible drawing dead to 2 aces..

Even if you are ahead, he probably has a good chance to suck out, and it's hard to tell which ones are safe and which aren't. Fold!

Cut losses, IF you're ahead at all, he probably has enough outs to mean that your call costs too much to be +EV, and he might already have you dominated.

I agree that I should've folded - I put villain on a draw, as my guess is he would've bet on the flop if he had a made hand (set, 2 pairs etc). I used all my time, and ended up calling.
Turn: ($59) 3/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB bets $75, Hero?
Now villain overbets the pot, putting me all-in? Is there any way I can call this? Is it a bluff? The turn wasn't a scare card, so the overbet confused me very much.

If you put him on a draw, this turn changes nothing, so you call.

Yes, you call this since you took so long to call the flop, of course he will bet.
fold or reraise all in on a good read of your opponnent.
in fact i think your vilan as a set ! or semi-bluffing a very nice draw take care !

Reraising all-in will only get me calls from hands who are ahead of me, so I don't think that's a good idea.
Anyways - villains overbet made me quite sure he was drawing, so I called.
He showed A/images/graemlins/diamond.gifQ/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, and I felt that his flop play was very good, while mine was quite doubtful.
im agree with you but , i tell you that if you dont like this flop maybe your vilain doesnt like it too (it maybe why is betting so much) ?

Doesn't calling already put you all-in?

Yup. Villain probably hates that flop. That's why he checkraises. Isn't that why you checkraise, because you just can't stand a flop.
it why i said previously you fold or you push.
Calling is the worst of all !
