Description:

You're playing in a high-stakes cash game. In this hand you raise to $2,500 under the gun. Player 2 calls right after you and the entire table calls behind. The flop comes T♠ 2♥ 2♦. The blinds check and you bet $10,200. Player 2 thinks for a moment before raising to $36,500. It's folded around to the small blind, who cold-calls, and you think before calling. The turn comes the 7♦. The SB checks; you check; Player 2 bets $104,000 and the small blind folds. Your read on Player 2 is that he is a very aggressive player, probably one of the best in the world, and is capable of all sorts of things.
What should you do?

  I think Melodyme's assessment is right on. A "best in the world" type player is not in this pot with a two(s) or pair of tens. They certainly wouldn't raise the flop after nailing trips or a full house. The turn bet signals an overpair, they picked up a flush draw and are bluffing with outs, or they are on a stone cold bluff. Shove solves all of those problems.

  The explanation for the hand and the right play is thus,
  
  As the villain is considered to be 'one of the best players in the world' he/she is capable of making plays to steal pots and certainly capable of making bluff raises. So in light of that fact, you should shove.
  It was just an example I found somewhere that I thought was interesting.

  he most aggressive, good ("probably one of the best in the world") player has yet to re-raise when he knows he has flopped the nuts on a non-drawing flop. I've never seen this done. *CORRECTION* I'd like to add with other's still in the hand. Heads-up is the exception I would give but then that changes the entire scenario.

  "Your read on Player 2 is that he is a very aggressive player, probably one of the best in the world, and is capable of all sorts of things."
  
  1. First question I'd ask myself, "would player 2 call the preflop bet with with 2s, knowing that there's still a full table to act ahead of him?" My answer would be, no-not if he's "one of the best in the world". He is not a microstake player who has the microstake thought-process (if such a concept exists).
  
  2. "Does he have 10s"? I would say no. He pauses, gives thought before re-raising. He has an over pair (anything from jacks to kings-possibly aces as well,lol. Based on my own personal experience, playing high stake tournaments even the most aggressive, good ("probably one of the best in the world") player has yet to re-raise when he knows he has flopped the nuts on a non-drawing flop. I've never seen this done.
  
  3. Now you have checked the turn, and villain has bet into you (exactly what you would like an aggressive player to do in this situation) ;)
