Default Button steal attempt gets interesting

Hero is on the button and has $570.
Villan is in the BB and has me covered.
Hero is considered LAG, but not a complete moron. Villan is a very tight, very solid player. Capable of big laydowns. I haven't seen him bluff at a pot, but he has won quite a few pots uncontested. Generally, we've stayed out of each other's way.


$1/$2NL

Folded around to Hero on the button with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 10[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Hero raises to $10. SB folds. BB calls. (Villan has seen me show down some junk hands and has also seen me show down monsters when raising from the button.)

Flop comes:
K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 10[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Villan bets $20. Hero pauses and calls while thinking "Yahtzeeeeee!"

Turn:
A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Villan bets $60. Hero raises to $170. Villan goes all-in. WTF?

My raise to him could mean anything. I'll raise the nuts and I also have raised with air in this game.

Is this a fold in this spot?

The only hands that have me beat at this point are AA and AK. Advice?

From what I've read, people always say to re-raise AK and AA. For this reason, I think you should call.

Insta-call. I think he could play KQ, KJ, JQ like this as well as AA and AK. Surely he repops you preflop with AA. He doesn't need the nuts to push on you if he's smart and you have the image you describe.

with a very tight player, is this really an insta call?

i can't see him calling $10 without some kind of pocket pair or at the very least AJ+. given his previous play, i don't see him calling with any kind of Kx.

Is this even a question? This is heads up, you flopped a full house, put the money in and be happy.
