Default What is he doing???

PokerStars 0.5/1 Hold'em (8 handed)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="CC3333">UTG raises</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, CO folds, Button folds, SB folds, BB folds, <font color="CC3333">UTG caps</font>, Hero calls.

Flop: (9.40 SB) A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
UTG checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, UTG calls.

Turn: (5.70 BB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
UTG checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">UTG raises...</font>

Smells like AA or JJ. Not sure how many times a person will decide to cap it (edit:preflop) HU and check it in front. Call down or fold?

In my limited experience so far, it seems standard practice for .5/1 players to wait for 4th St to CR a set. If it's JJ, you're drawing to 2 outs. If it's AA, you're dead. I don't think the pot's big enough to call him down. I'm folding.

the flop check/call followed by the turn check/raise smells like a monster to me.

Could be another AK. Or a bluff.

Without a read you probably could fold this at 0.5/1. At higher levels you need to call this down.

If it's JJ, his 2 outs would be the 2 remaining aces.

Any reads? It becomes pretty important in this particular instance.

the two remaining aces give JJ a fullhouse while giving you only trip aces. you are drawing nearly dead against JJ

You should call this down. Most people who would cap with JJ would also cap with AK. AK is more likely than JJ mathematically. Both AK and JJ would often play this hand in this manner. Hence you are good far too often to fold here.
