Push? no slowplay bc of that flushdraw I guess, but any reason not to push here?

AK is not likely. KQ or KJ are perhaps most likely if he isnt semibluffing with a flushdraw or straightdraw.

What worried me is that he bet so much if it was a bluff he could have bet half the size he did. Most of the times this means a strong hand at the limit I was playing.
(but I didnt fold it because 2 pair left me with outs but it wasnt a nobrainer also, thats why I posted it)

so if I got beat with a flush that would be a good play (+EV is it called, right?)

[/ QUOTE ] yep, say nice hand and quietly thank him for his money. You deffinitely want him to call with a flush draw.

At this level your opponents don't really think about what theyre doing. Most of the time KJ would never be played like that. It would be slow-played. KQ-K9 is very likely. Wouldnt have thought of a flush draw, but then add a note that this guys aggressive and can semi-bluff.
