AHA! Why not?

Because I play in an overly aggressive game that has taught me to call down a bit more than is probably optimal.

"You had a post last week where a guy open limped on the button, the SB says "HA" and completes, and you check. The flop gives you top pair and *you* fold, but the SB goes to the end. *He* was the one who said "ha" out loud, but still called down. Why do you think you could fold, but the SB could not?"

I'm not afraid to be right.

OK, question from a small stakes player:

We put opener on QQ-TT. What will he think if we just call here? It seems to me that he will weight AK fairly highly given our play thus far. If so, is it possible that he will fold if an ace (or king) falls on the river? That would make a call ... more interesting anyway.
