It depends on your read on the player, but I think its an easy fold. It seems like a move someone would make with a king.

i definately wouldnt smell Q, but it could be a weak K, JT, T9, J9, or any hand that has a gutshot. you might have the best hand if the hand were to end right now, but he's probably has atleast ten outs.

i usually let him have it. try again next round.

I fail to see how this can ever be anything other than an extremely easy fold.

Because he has the best hand the majority of the time here?

Problem is you're either a little ahead or way behind, I don't think you can make the call.

Fold, if you're going to put all of your chips in on this hand you need to be the first one in. I don't much care for your preflop play. What are you trying to accomplish with your raise here?

Can you even beat a bluff? Any ace splits or dominates and any pair has you drawing.

I'm trying to let a weakish hand fold. Too early to push as he's got 11+ BB.

I'm guessing that zephyr is wondering why you didn't raise more, since you don't really want a call with your A2s.

Your raise should give him poor enough odds such that he'll fold a wide range of hands. Your raise also needs to take away his FE preflop. You're raise should convey the messages, "it'll cost you to call", and "push and I'll call ya".
