    For me I would set him in, and your stack has him comfortably covered. You can handle losing the hand. Most likely situation is he has a lower Ace such as AJ or A10 and you are in a great spot with one card to come. In the situation where you're up against AK or a set then you just have to take it on the chin.
    However if you feel you can find a better spot than this, then don't worry about folding. All you have is one pair at the end of the day

    Hope this helps

    If he is a good reg than you aren't ahead here.

    Smells of a set, particularly with the nut flush draw ruled out by your ace.

    Thanks for the replies so far guys, I don't wanna name the player without permission, i asked in the chatbox but think he was multi-tabling, I know him as a decent tourny player and also a mod ;-)

    I just realised you lot haven't seen his hand so knowing who it was wouldn't make a difference..
    Was hoping for a few more opinions on this one, the player was 'Kiwini4u'
