Default What can he possibly have that has me beat? 30/60 stars hand

POKERSTARS GAME #630582667: HOLD'EM LIMIT ($30/$60) - 2004/08/20 - 21:09:01 (ET)
Seat 1: Bolikk ($549 in chips) (this number may or may not be relevant)

The game is 10 handed, and I have no read on the opponent as I have just sat down. The table is playing slightly more aggressively than I'm used to seeing here.

teamchampion: posts small blind $15
ZeeJustin: posts big blind $30
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to ZeeJustin [6s 5s]
Bolikk: raises $30 to $60

*** TURN *** [6h 3s 6d] [Td]
ZeeJustin: checks
Bolikk: bets $60
borgcube: calls $60
ZeeJustin: raises $60 to $120
Bolikk: raises $60 to $180
borgcube: folds
ZeeJustin: raises $60 to $240

I capped the turn because he open raised utg, and the only standard utg open raise hand that has me beat is TT. If he has JJ, QQ, KK, or AA, he's drawing very slim. What are the chances that he has something like A6s here? Is the most likely scenario that he is overplaying his aces, or am I probably beat?
-any comments are appreciated

based on the strength he showed on the turn, me thinks he boated up. He had to know you had a 6 (you were in the freakin' blind...that's like the only card you could have had. Either that or he had a bad case of puppy love with his high pocket pair. A simple call on the end will do.

Hi Zee,

It depends on the awareness level of your opponent. What does he think of you? Does he think of you?

It's just painfully obvious that you have a six, so a good player will only give you this much action if you are behind. Has he, by chance, seen you semi-bluff / bluff a lot lately? Does he think you just have top pair?

With no reads in a reasonably high stakes game, I'm giving my opponent credit for being a good player and calling down the 3-bet. If he shows me AA, I made more than I deserved anyways and I can note it for future reference.

my 2 cents.
Eric

i disagree with the rest of the responses because of his stack size. i think you played it perfect.
