Is my range about right?

    Default Is my range about right?

    Villain is 21/13, fold to 3bet 0(3), Agg 2.8 over about 30 hands at this stage. This is the first big pot I had seen him in and the first time I'd seen this AI re-raise on the flop.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (9 handed) - PokerStars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    UTG ($5)
    UTG+1 ($11.12)
    MP1 ($15.56)
    MP2 ($10)
    MP3 ($4)
    CO ($18.49)
    Button ($2)
    SB ($10.98)
    Hero (BB) ($17.24)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with A, K
    2 folds, MP1 bets $0.50, 5 folds, Hero raises to $1.50, MP1 calls $1

    Flop: ($3.05) 5, J, A (2 players)
    Hero bets $2.20, MP1 raises to $14.06 (All-In)Hero??

    Here's what I put in pokerstove and it seems like a clear fold since I need 38% to call but I don't know if I'm putting him on too tight a range.

    Board: Ad Jd 5d
    Dead:

    equity win tie pots won pots tied
    Hand 0: 25.152% 19.04% 06.11% 2451 786.00 { AhKh }
    Hand 1: 74.848% 68.74% 06.11% 8847 786.00 { KcKd, KdKs, JJ, 55, KdQd, AcKd, AsKd, AcQd, AsQd }

    i doubt he has 55 or KQ. wierd he came out with a 5x open.
    Why not AA?

    I discounted AA because I figured he would most likely have 4 bet it pre. Adding AA brings my equity down to 23%.

    I doubted 55 and KQdd as well but figured they were possibilities given 21/13 and 0% fold to 3 bet. Taking both of them out brings my equity to 31% which is still a fold.

    Frankly I can't think of any range that would give me 38% equity so I guess it doesn't really matter but I'd like to know if my range reading abilities are improving.

    Pretty easy fold, he never has a pure bluff so at worst he has a naked Kd/Qd but usually he'll have a pair or straight draw to go with it. The rest of the time you are dead or getting freerolled.
    Playing big pots at small stakes.

    Fold is definitely the right move. I think your range is ok if you can make the discounts that Biz suggested. With such a short history with this guy it's impossible to tell, but I've seen idiots make this same play with KK or QQ at this level thinking they're making a good bluff.

    I assume don't lead because it leaves me open to the raise which leaves me no real choice but to fold right?

    ETA: And the fact my hand has show down value, specially if the turn and river blank, and so I'd want to be trying to get to a cheap showdown.

    If he have AA, then I dont think he would 4bet pre, not everytime. Also on the flop, he can't have a flush, so if you check, he might be scared of flush or decide to slow play it. Give you a chance to catch that Q.

    For the record Villain showed and that is what got me thinking about my range.

    With no history I don't see how I could have factored in a hand like that to his range, which is almost a pure bluff on this board, so I'm happy with the range I assigned and with my fold. With hindsight I obviously should have checked and evaluated ftr bets. I made a note for future play.
