    Having clear stack sizes would be great.

    I'd be more happy raising pre as you should have best hand with that limping weak action so it's a value raise, only problem could be if first limper decides to shove with his 26bb stack, I also presume SB has 1500 so 7.5bbs which is fine to get ti in against.

    Flop and turn fine.

    River think I call again as board hasn't become very scary and would be weird for an Ace to now suddenly bet bigger. However in limped pot they could have ANYTHING so tricky to give perfect advice.

    yeah not sure why, but your posts tend to chop off half the stack sizes, which really matter in lot of cases in MTT or SnG hand choices.

    As for the hand. He bets same on flop and on turn, so either he limps alot with rag aces and he made two pair on the river or he was trying to draw to the flush and is betting bigger to hope to fold you out. Think you call as nothing has changed from turn really other than unlikely straight, but maybe find you're beat. Ohter possiblity is that he was very strong all along and rubbish bet sizing, but this seems less likely. Only time I'd consider this is if he normally raises but suddenly limps the CO with a shorty in front so he can snap them off with big PP or the like if they shove.

    Still think I'd have raised it up preflop, as with limps should likely have best hand unless someones slow playing. If the bigger stack shoves guess can still fold but call on teh shorty.
