    Playing a hu sit and go, NLHE on pokerstars. Played 39 hands, opponent very agressive.
    Both have equal stacks +/- 25 chips. Blinds 25/50

    Dealt to Hero 10 10

    Hero Raises to 150,
    opponent Calls.

    Flop A 2 Q

    Opponent checks
    Hero bets 150
    Opponent Calls

    Turn A

    Opponent check
    Hero check

    River K

    For a Board of A 2 Q A K

    Opponent is all in, and has you covered by 25 chips. 600 in the pot.

    What do you do, and why, what do you put him on.

    i would fold, i mean yeh, he could have a spade draw, but the board is to scary to call u will still have 1200 chips which is 24BBs so their is still play left

    I agree, he probably called with some type of high cards. I probably make another bet on the turn. If he is on a draw, he mihgt fold, but your check there shows some weakness, like the ace scared you. Once you showed weakness, he pushed to get you off your hand.

    Well, that was my initial thinking, but given he was agressive all through, two thoughts.

    Why would he not reraise me preflop or on the flop if he has high cards.

    If he is sure he has me beat, doesnt he want to value bet me to get more from
    me on the river, rather than push all in.

    It was the push that did it for me, I figured he had two spades, and one of them was
    not the king, or he would have value bet me on the river.

    i called, he showed two low spades.
