Should have noted that the agressive player was also pretty loose

As played I probably call, really depends on what you think he thinks of you. Also I'd bet $40 on this flop, or alternatively check/raise all in.

CookieB, what do you think your opponent has?

His hand selection against your open raises and his post-flop raises (does this ussually mean a semi-bluff raise to a flush?) will help determine whether or not you should be calling his all-in.

Thanks for the advice and question, I thought I was ahead so I called. I believed he could have any where from A9 with a flush draw to 98 or maybe a set. River paired the three, but we chopped as he also had JT, just wanted to be sure thatthis call was not way outside the realms of common sense. Also, one of the blinds may have folded, I dont think I would have bet $20 into a $40 pot, and I remember betting the $20. Thanks
