Default Re: can you call this?

I can't really think of a hand where it's right for the guy to push. On this kind of flop, you're either way ahead or way behind. About the only reasonable hand I can think of, other than a stone bluff, is if you have a bad K and you're hoping that if the other guy has a better K, you can get him to lay it down.

That's a pretty risky play though!!

My point is, when you see a guy make a bizarre play like this, it's hard to put him on a hand the way you would put a reasonable player on a hand. It's even harder to bring second-level thinking into the equation and start drawing conclusions about what he thinks you have!

I think all you can do is put him on a fairly wide range of hands like Soss did and work from there. You can't really play Sherlock Holmes with an opponent who is capable of this kind of bet.
