Down to HU. This guy has been pretty LAG at the FT. This is the 3rd or 4th hand HU.

I don't have the actual HH but this is what it looked like..

Blinds at 2k/4k ante 500

Czar ~190k chips (BB)
Villain ~ 80k chip (SB/Button)

Dealt to Czar: [K 8]
Villain calls 2000
Czar check
Flop [5 8 A] rainbow
Czar bets 5000
Villain raises all-in (~76k)
Czar ???

I'm really not putting him on an ace cuz he didn't raise preflop and he's pretty loose so I assume he would have but is there any way I can make this call???

It depends.. If he's been limping a lot then it's cool, but if he's been raising a lot and the limp was out of character then that should put out warning signals.

If the limp wasn't rare then I call. If the limp is out of character then I put him on a pp that's decides to shove because he's scared of the ace, and I lay down the hand.

this is read dependent. he could have limp with any Ax though.

I don't see him bluffing his whole tourney when u can bust him in a eye blink without something though.

After it was all over I think I should have called. 2 hands later he raised to 15k from the button, I push all-in with A-J and he calls his last 60k with 4-2.
