How often does he have the ace here?

MTT, deepstack, going quite nicely.

Basically, villain had been seeing lots of flops and limping in a bit. Puts him in the 'less than average player' bracket just on that alone. Anyway, the hand is self explanatory but does he really shove with an ace in this situation? A bad player might do if he is scared of the flush maybe?

Dunno, i've left a poll to whether he has it or not........

    A good player will be doing this with a flush draw. A bad player will be doing this with an ace. But I still don't think you can fold. The fact that two aces have come out reduces the chances of him having an ace though. I think you have to call. If he has it then you can always get luck and hit a king.

    Poss holding a weak ace here and is worried about the flush draw. I think i'm folding here. It would be interesting to know if a fold is a bad move long term.

    I was a good little nit and folded.  I have seen this alot at NL4 and it probably put me off due to me thinking villain was bad enough to do this. Should have called! One of those annoying hands you keep going back to.

    Same tourney, a little later on, different table. Villain had been trying to push people about since i been here and been all in a couple of times. Call or fold?

    Snap call for me, if he has a weak ace then ur unlucky, but these are the sort decisions u need to make to win a tourny.

    personally i'd put him on a jack as his just called could have qj kj etc..
