NL50: AA - SA/WB - call push?

[Ra_]

Only at table about 20 hands. Villan seemed a little loose, but hasn't done anything noteworthy yet.

This board is discusting, i'd have a hard time putting his range in to poker stove, theres tons of crap it could be.

I folded but thought it was marginal. I leaned towards fold because unkowns usually don't play draws aggressively.

this is an insta fold IMO. What do you think you are beating in this spot, any diamonds, queens, jacks, nines, K 10, any ace of diamonds can catch up. Please say you called and have results?

I've been known to make this call vs agressive players, just because so often it is a stiff A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.

I always get berated for it by the pushee, probably correctly.

The thing is, it is almost never a made flush. Usually it is two pair, a set or the draw. I've had it be KK too.

Probably ought to be a fold.

I thought A/images/graemlins/diamond.gifQo, A/images/graemlins/diamond.gifJo, A/images/graemlins/diamond.gifxo, T/images/graemlins/diamond.gifxo,AoQo, KoQo,K/images/graemlins/diamond.gifQo, AoT/images/graemlins/diamond.gif were all hands I'd push in his shoes. Not to mention tons of hands that i'm dead too. I didn't think he would push a nut flush, and some unknowns would not push a baby flush. I was trying to decide if his drawing range was at least 70% of his pushing range here. I figure that be high enough for it to be and least nueutral EV. but i really couldn't come up with % of drawing range, then i got a headache, then i folded.

This probably is a frivilous post, and an easy desicion in hindsight. but with sush a huge range, what thought process do you use?

He showed JJ, which i didn't notice until I looked at the history when posting.
