Fold. His bet is way too big for a continuation bet on AK/AQ. His likely range of hands now is 66-AA, of which you are beating only 88 and 99. On top of that, LP could have flopped a set (less likely, but it adds up).

I took the overbet as a sign of weakness. I just couldn't figure out why he would bet $25 into a $10 pot. I reraised all-in and he called. He showed KK. Can someone explain this player to me ? I don't understand him, obviously.

That's probably why he did it.

This is just "Player X" from these low limit games. He makes them very easy to beat. As you can see, if you understand that 90% of SSNL players on PP will play their higher pocket pairs almost the exact same way, it lets you play all your sets properly (push, he just pot committed himself), and get away from your overpairs. This is a fold.

He's a shorter stack trying to double up. I think it's time to fold.
