This is a spot i often run into, and im not guite sure how to play right.

No Limit Holdem Tournament • 2 Players Hand converted by the official HUSNG.com hand converter BTNHero1695  BBsimonfish821305  Effective Stacks: 44bb Blinds 15/30 Pre-Flop (45, 2 players) Hero is BTN Hero raises to 75, simonfish82 calls 45 Flop (150, 2 players) simonfish82 checks, Hero bets 90, simonfish82 raises to 240,Hero?? Villain is a winnig player and seems pretty straight forward. Not been doing anything out ot line. My image in this match is aggro, with some 3betting pre and stabbing at all flops where he shows weakness. This is the 17 hand. How do i play this flop? Please give your thoughts.

I usually just flat all 3

I usually just flat all 3 sts, or sometimes do a fast small 3b on the flop and get it in

I think this has to be a call

I think this has to be a call against a winning straight forward player, I think he is very unlikley to shove over a raise of yours as a bluff and I think that you essentially have a bluff catcher here, so he won't be calling a raise with worse, I would imagine that a winning player is going to barrel scare cards and give often up on blanks, but that is quite player dependant, so I would call one more street to a barrel on a scare card and fold to another on the river. I think that on a blank without a read it's probably a fold but if you've got reads that he is barreling a lot then you could argue to float that as well.

Do you think this hand is pretty much the same as yours

No Limit Holdem Tournament • 2 Players Hand converted by the official HUSNG.com hand converter BBMYnameke2070  BTNHero930  Effective Stacks: 31bb Blinds 15/30 Pre-Flop (45, 2 players) Hero is BTN Hero raises to 90, MYnameke calls 60 Flop (180, 2 players) MYnameke checks, Hero bets 90, MYnameke raises to 210, Hero calls 120  Do you think this hand is pretty much the same as yours or is it diffrent I just played this vs a bad aggro player and when I played it I was thinking of your hand and so I just called but looking at it I think it is better to shove over the top the fact that I have top kicker the villain is bad and aggro and the fact that the pair is higher than the other card. What do you recon?

Yeah probably just shove over

Yeah probably just shove over there. You beat all 5x, and I doubt he has a ton of 66+ in his range.

The stacks are shorter

The stacks are shorter too.However, you're facing an aggro in the A5 hand, and the turn will often be a decent card to continue his bluff, so flatting in this situation can be the best play (without aggro reads, reraise all in is probably the best play here).
