I've just played a hand, and it`s given me something to think about. Online, 50c/$1nl, and an unknown player (who has $80 at this $100 capped buyin.. I have him covered). I find AKos in mid position, and unknown villain, who I know little about, but seems 1/2 decent, raises to $5 pf. I call, and we see flop heads up.

Pot $16

Flop comes AA5 rainbow. He bets $5 (now I know he`s a bad? player), and I make it $15. He calls. Turn is a 10, giving no flush draws, He bets $10 into this pot, and I'm sure I'm winning. I'm hoping to trap AQ, ot worse, if he`s a worse player. I make it $40, he raises all-in, and shows A5, giving him the boat. Given that there was no K, Q or J on board, the boat caught me unawares. Am I right in always playing for my stack in this situation? If the money were deeper, maybe I'd play different, but I cant see me ever folding in this type of situation. Comments or advice?

I'd play for my stack. I would be a little worried about AT but you can't see A5 coming. It must have been SOOOTED! Tough break man.

Reload and move on...nothing you can do here better luck!

I think this hand is too tough to get away from. And since he raised PF, how can you put him on that? You just got really unlucky

As everyone else said this is a tough hand, I think I lose my stack most of the time in this hand.
