Flop: (16 SB) A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (4 players)

Looks good. Stay aggressive until you have a good reason to slow down.

Also, good flop raise against SB's all-in. Gave you a chance to win it right there.

Did you have any reads?
Was the Button on a pocket pair as well?

All ins never lose!!! Fold on flop!

Pretty obvious when calling station doesn't raise you he doesn't have an ace [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Even if he did raise you on the turn I'd re-raise him back.

allin had K4o [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

Button had JJ and MHIG

In the past, the aces on the flop would have kept me from betting at all, and I would have been real vulnerable to a bluff from the button.
Betting the flop and turn let me build a side pot in case allin had an A, and it let me see how Button would react. When he called both the flop and turn, I knew he didn't have an A. The only thing I was afraid of was KK.
