No read and he's pushing huge... fold is probably worth it.

A: He re-raises pre-flop.

B: The flop comes complete garbage (unless you're me - 78 looks pretty good), and again he re-raises you.

I figure with no read on him, he's got AA / KK, with a read I may be able to believe he's really overplaying something like AK, but he's gone all in... you're beat.

I may have re-re-raised him pre-flop, not the pot, but perhaps another $3-4 (which you bet on the flop anyways), and if he came over the top AGAIN, well, it's pretty easy to see then.

Good fold.

It's tough to lay down an overpair to the flop.Â* My friend St. Martin was in a tournament a month or two ago and he laid down pocket aces on a KJ3 rainbow flop.Â* His opponent showed him pocket jacks.Â* Now, I wasn't at the table, but apparently the guy with the jacks made a big flop check-raise.Â* That's not exactly how you milk a flopped set.Â* Nonetheless, I was very impressed with my friend's laydown.Â* I might have gone broke there.

Back to your hand, there's an expression I've heard before: your opponents are straightforward until proven tricky.Â* In other words, unless you've seen otherwise, it's best to assume that your opponent is a rock, as rocks are IMO the most common type of player out there.Â* So again, good fold.
