Laying down the nuts...?

5-10 NL live...

The game is fairly deep, we have been playing all night.
Hero~ $2500
Villian~ $2200 and he is very good.

In BB I am dealt K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

UTG limps, villian raises to $80 (standard), folded to me, I call utg calls.
Pot- $245
Semi-gorgeous flop:
A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

I bet $200, utg folds and Villian goes all in for ~$2100.

Thoughts, comments, criticisms...? Such an absurd over bet makes me think about what holdings he could actually make this play with.

Results later.

kqo is about the worst hand i can think of to call a good player's raise out of position.

this isn't pot limit omaha. he doesn't put you on the nuts because most players would get cute. he probably has a set or what he thinks is a big draw. call and bust him.

It is KQs, and if I didn't play hands like that out of position, what would I have to post on the forum? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] BTW, He isn't going to get cute just for the fun of it...

If he assumes that I am a good player, what possible holdings would he want to make this play with? The play was so illogical to me, coming from him, that I had to sit and think this one out for a bit...

Thinking about this hand, the only thing I can compare it to is someone pushing pre-flop and somehow you know for a fact that they don't have a pair. You have AKo.

Well he sure as [censored] isn't going to do w/ KQc unless he puts you on EXACTLY your holding.

I'm actually really interested in what he put you on. If he had KQc and put you on KQo, then he just made the most +EV play in the history of poker and you need to avoid sitting with him again.

you know, i somehow read your post several times and saw K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] each time. too much online poker, i guess.

How could you possibly ever think about folding?

Put yourself in his shoes, why would he make this bet and what would he make it with?
