Elaborate?

uh-huh....(I wasn't being facetious LA [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]).....basically, look at the stack sizes, player descriptions, and size of the pot on the flop in the original post - I like a larger raise, a smaller raise, or a smooth call preflop all better than what LA actually did.....

elaboration: both hero and villain were playing tight and un-tricky, so LA's reraise gives away his hand but still prices villain in for a flop, possibly lets him off the hook with smaller overpairs, and creates a very awkward pot size.....after hero's bet on the flop, even if villain auto-went-all-in and hero was just SURE his aces were no good, can LA fold getting better than 2 to 1 in a $5k pot knowing there's some chance villain has KK or AKs?.....
