I did bet $45, and really expected to take down the pot right there or get a call from at most one of the two players. What happened really surprised me as Player A raised to $145 and Player B insta-called (over half his remaining stack.)
This is the first time that Player A had shown this aggression toward me all night, but I had done it to him quite a few times. | Why would it surprise you the guy raised when he moved to be behind you? He wants to see you coming, and was afraid to lead into your aggression.
It looks like someone has a set, and maybe an Ace, a (pair+) draw or two pair.
Half of player B's stack in means you have little implieds odds from him. If you hit your draw, you are likely going to have to lead at player A because he'll check behind a fair amount of the time.
Fold, and wish you hadn't knocked yourself off the draw.
