    This is my 7th hand at the table, and the first time I raised. My overall PLO stats are VP$IP 33.8 and PFR 7.49 so I am semi-loose-Agressive/Agressive.
    I want comments on my play please.
    No real reads on my opponent, I only just got here and PTO says we have only played 37 hands together.

    Hand history is below, but as I hate reading them the summary goes like this.

    I am dealt 4567ds in middle position. One limper and I make ful pot raise to $22. Folded to the button who Reraises full pot to $80. Ok, so now I know he has aces.
    Folded back to me, and I call the extra $58.

    Flop is Kd Ts 8c .

    I like the flop, or at least I think he doesn't.

    He bets out $132 into a $172 pot.

    I think about it for nearly my full time, and then re-raise all-in.

    Will he fold often enough to make this a good play, or is this best reserved for the latter stages of tournaments?

    And would you fold to a bet like that, assuming you 'missed' the flop with your Aces?

    I don't like this play if you have no read. Also, he doesn't have as much behind as you do, and may feel pot committed. I can see myself calling here with AA, especially with a gutshot, although probably not against an unknown.

    If the flop had been KT5 I would like it a lot more.

    I don't like it at all personally. It may be $2/$4 PL but you'll still get people who can't lay down their AAxx.
    The vital thing here is that you've no idea if his sidecards to his AA may have given him a hand. And you have to be pretty sure that his preflop re-raise definitely means AAxx and not KQJTds or KKJJ or some other pretty cards.

    Plus you zero draws in the event you do get called my AAxx apart from the bad gutshot.
