[ACE IS BACK]

Just the fact that he flat called you all the way through would make me think it's a bluff.  However, it is possible he's holding A 10 and just happened to catch the third 10 and had only stayed in the hand for the possible straight.

I dont know if it's exactly a bluff bet.  He may have something like 88 and figure he's best.  Of course there's also a possibility that that he had some sort of flush draw that includes the .  I think you have to call even though the bet is larger than we would like to see given that I think it more likely ITLR that this is a weaker hand than we hold.

have to know more about his play
   can just be a bluff but could he could be sleeper

ergh.  i hate that kind of situation.  i think i have to fold here.  yeah, it's possible that he just missed his flush, but ANY 10 beats you.  that's scary.  QQ, 22, 44, 33, and A10 are all possible.  betting 8-10 on the flop and 20-25 on the turn may have been more accurate cause the board is so drawish.

My default in this situation is to fold, but it depends on the villain.  I've definitely stacked off in this kind of situation versus particular players if we have history or he's a bad LAG or maniac, but if he's not or you know nothing about him, then you're probably better off folding in the long run I think.

It's very tempting to call because Ax hands are such a large part of his range, but although some players will turn their ace into a bluff in this spot, most players at these limits don't do this without a hand in my experience.
