Im no expert, but I might be more inclined to just call there, and put in a big one on the turn instead. You have far from the nuts, in both directions, and can be counterfeighted for your low (if it even gets there).What are you going to do if they pot it back to you? Or, if say they call and a jack comes on the turn and they pot it? So many questions...good hand to post, not so sure about the way to play it... :?

I think this play is OK.Depending on the opponent I might well pot it back here, however 75% of the time I am going to flat call:1. You are probably going to have the best hand and win 3/4, but you have your opponent betting into you and building the pot.2. You don't need to raise yet to be able to get all his stack in by the end - indeed if you raise now, you will probably slow him down and he may not call the 50 odd when you bet the turn. If you let him bet the turn, he will almost certainly bet 20 odd more.3. He could well have A2Jx and have 7 outs to 3/4 or scoop you.The benefit of position is that you have the choice on what to do here - sometimes Judo gets better results than Karate.

I'd say this is a pretty ballsy bet. Your opponent probably has either AA or A2, right. You dont want AA drawing to two pair. If he has A2, you could bait him, but i'd rather take the pot right there.
