Arg, no reads. Hard to tell where you are at here. Id like to say this is a WA/WB (Way ahead/ Way behind) situation, but there is a strong possiblity that hes raising you on a flush. Still, more than likley, you are either the big favorite (dominating Ace) or a big dog (set).

Edit- My fault, didnt realize we were in position. I would call him down the rest of the streets.

can't check-call when your in position, same w/ blocking bet.


call and raise the non-heart turn.. if he pushes fold.

I called flop. Turn came an offsuit 4

Mistake: Flop heart was king not heart if that changes anything.

I am thinking about this hand, and I am having a tough time thinking of what would bet this way. Obviously not 3A of hearts since you got the hearts, so the pair and flush draw is out the door. He might have TJ or JQ of hearts, and playing his flush draw+gutshot hard. He could have AK, QK, JK, TK, or 9K, and only one of those hands you are behind, the rest you are ahead and one you tie. Or, he could have 33, 99, or QQ (check raising with the QQ to see if he is ahead or behind I guess), or he might be trapping with AA (I've seen this kind of thing before).

I am perplexed, my guess is most likely has 33, 99, or AK as aggressively as he is playing it.

According to pokertracker, you are 69% fave against this range. I would end up reraising all in right here since the flush didn't come, AK looks pretty good right here, and if you lose to a set, ouch.
