Give him credit for an overpair?

given the read on villian i would fold here.
im not saying your behind at the moment for sure but i think his range for this play can be anything from an overpair to something like AKh AQh AJh.
if he has any of them his got something like 14 outs which makes it a very starong draw.
i think you playd the hand well ,but his saying he has a better hand and considering the blinds are 50/100 you can affrod to let this go.

tough situation. I can see A7 of hearts playing this hand this way after the flop(not likely though with preflop raise), more likely an over pair or AK or AQ of hearts (also possible is a set trying to make someone pay to play the flush draw). Either way you are behind, I would fold. If he has overpair, you are a major dog and if he has AK or AQ of hearts, he is ahead with 13 outs.

I agree this could be a donkey play with an AKo or AQo, but given your own reads, this is a fold.

FWIW, I play it pretty much the exact same way, and pretty confidently fold knowing he had me beat. I think a reraise preflop is a pretty poor idea- your stack is too big to push preflop, and while you could raise to 800 or so to see what's up, I imagine a good player would be pushing AK in that spot along with his overpairs. Play for the set/overpair, and fold to resistance on the latter.

I think you played it fine. If he was a donkey who made a habit of pushing, then it's an easy call. But not here.

With a higher percentage of my stack in the pot, I would've check-raised all in. But not when you can get away from the hand and still be viable.

I'm guessing he has an overpair and put you on either top pair or a flush draw. Or he has two overcard Hearts.
