really gross spot, no hand makes sense for him so i lean towards it being a poorly played AK/AQ/99/88/JJ. i probably wtf call.

How has he been playing to this point? Is this the first time he has done this? Any showdowns to take note of? If this isn’t the first time he has played a Hand like this I’m calling it off, I’ve seen plenty of fish do this with all kinds of random hands.

If it is the first time he’s done this, and he has been playing ‘standard’ in other hands (doubtful) then I guess I find a fold, but like I said, this looks like a spazzy fish move so I expect to see a lot of smaller pp and Broadways

the dude had been there for less than 1 orbit… and i thought about just jamming it, but he is 5xing utg… doesnt seem like hes going to fold there, and any hand i get called by, im in a flip at best most of the time… usually one would think that a 737 is a good flop for TT but facing a utg 7x, i really wasnt sure… i dont know what he had coz i folded… but he ended up doing the same thing a few hands later with 33 on a 567 board and got called by KK, still, i would pay to see what he had there!

You're risking 2/3 of your stack against a relative unknown with a strong but not too strong a hand.  If he's as bad a player as his play suggests, just fold and look for a better spot to take him out.  I've been in many situations like this where either I or the opponent is new to the table, and I get put in a situation where it's a difficult decision without any reads.  Without reads, I tend to give the player the benefit of the doubt.  It does suck when these types of situations arise when you don't have information, but I just chalk it up to bad luck that I had to be the first instead of the third person to deal with an overbettor.

 

Most of the comments are making assumptions about this player's style.  Yes he could be overbetting AI with AK here, he could be overbetting AI with AA here.  You have no idea.  Your inital read was AA/KK.  I'd trust your instincts…you'll still have 40+ BBs.

 

Of course, if you saw the 33 hand on the 567 board beforehand, it's an easy call.

Calvin nailed it.  You have to let it go and keep an eye on him.  Your suspicion was confirmed and it's too bad you weren't the one with KK.

Hope you made a note on him though – you did, right?

I'd wtf call here and lol if it's actually AA or KK since it makes no sense to do it with those hands.
