Lately Ive heard mentions of insta-llins being a tell of weakness... Ive never acted upon this (so dont know of it yet).. Here villan insta pushed turn.. i was scared of him now hitting two pair AT but in retrospect he insta-pushed SO quick that him improving on the turn is very unlikely cos that would slow down his thought-process and actions, right? But im Still scared of 8x here when he pushes 2x pot.

So what's the verdict on this hand and the insta-push? Theres no draws out there, so he has a made hand, does he have AQ,AJ or less enough for me to win, because 8x and AT seem likely.

BTW Ive only just started 5max so dont have many stats, had 40 hands on this guy who was:

75 / 25 / 4. WTSD %13, pretty useless stats with 40 hands but you can see he's loosing player and probably pretty laggy.
