How often should I be concerned to be up against a flush on the turn? I guess I can never fold here since I only need to call a little more than what is in the pot already. And I think people like to bluff here a lot. I did not put him om AJo though, never imagine he would call a raise with that preflop, so I thought QQ-TT was a likely holding and some suited connectors as well as AQ, AK with clubs.

But if we suppose he make this play with the range AA,QQ-99,AcQc,AcJc,AcTc,KcQc,QcJc,JcTc,Tc9c. On the turn I still have 54% equity against his range. Assuming he is bluffing sometimes it is even better.

It is best to make sure your stack is 100bb provided you play the big stack strategy. You can auto top up your stack at PokerStars :)
I do not think many worse hands are betting this much OTT. We also are not drawing... I think I can find a fold here but then we see it is exploitative as well ;)

Yeah I missed checking in the auto rebuy. I'm really not sure, it feels like I'm beaten a lot of the times but at the same time I can be up against either an over-pair or a semi-bluff. I just felt like he was bluffing though :P
