Default Nice Flop, and he likes his hand...

I'm only about a few hands in on this table so I have no real reads...

Poker Stars, $0.02/$0.05 NL Hold'em Cash Game, 8 Players
LeggoPoker.com - Hand History Converter

BTN: $9.18
SB: $1.88
BB: $1.38
UTG: $2.87
UTG+1: $12.03
Hero (MP1): $9.87
MP2: $5.62
CO: $6.39

Pre-Flop: dealt to Hero (MP1)
2 folds, Hero raises to $0.15, MP2 calls $0.15, CO raises to $0.45, 3 folds, Hero raises to $1, MP2 calls $0.85, CO calls $0.55

Flop: ($3.07) (3 Players)
Hero bets $1.45, MP2 folds, CO raises to $2.90, Hero ???



Spoiler:
Not so fast!

I'd like some input before I show you what happens.

I kinda like call if he could find a fold with AA if you shove. But this is 5NL so I doubt it, so shove.

I get it in right now. He only has ~ $2.20 left. He's claiming AA, QQ, JJ, TT, or 99. AK very unlikely. You beat his range and as you said, he likes his hand.

I think the 4-bet preflop is a little on the small side, but that's a matter of preference as much as anything.

Shoving here is fine. You can give him more rope if you want, doesn't matter (we aren't folding) but being OOP calling and leading the turn or calling and going for a c/r on the turn are both awkward. Looks like whatever he's got, he's calling it off, just get it in.

I was kind of expecting someone to say that. It's the first thing I noticed when I converted the hand. I'm clearly not a good 4-Better as I hardly ever find myself in this position. It so rare that I get re-raised for some reason.

That said... I put him in here and he turned over the 99. Figures.
