I believe so considering stack sizes ; )

Do I even have to look at the flop?

Probably not. Pushing every flop is fine. But this is a really good flop for your hand and you might get him to fold some better hands and the pot is big so it's a crystal clear push.

Push preflop. But yeah, as played easy shove on the flop.

Standard. Why is this even a question (other than a BBV in disguise?)

Why do you feel the need to say this?

Re: Is this flop push standard?
 

I always push this flop also, but is there any merit to check/raising all in against an aggro opponent, who might put it all in with any 2 in this spot after you checked to him?

Re: Is this flop push standard?
 

I'd say not much, because the pot's 1,200 and hero has 1,200, if the villain bets ANYTHING he's pot-committed. The danger, however, is in the villain CHECKING behind. Now hero pretty much HAS TO push/call WITHOUT getting the benefit of odds being correct for a draw (if behind) and with less FE because the turn push looks like MORE of a steal than the flop push... IMHO.

A line of betting 600 may not be too bad (with the intention of calling the raise) simply because it might make Hero's hand look that much bigger, as it MAY have slightly more FE than the push. However, I think Hero should actually ROOT for the call here as he has tons of outs against most hand that call him here...

I don't think there is. There are certainly worse plays, but given that he called a preflop raise, there's a good chance this flop hit him at least a little bit. If we c/r here, he's obviously going to be pot committed to call with whatever he has, and given that we have a great draw but not a made hand, I'd rather just take it down right here.

FYP

Re: Is this flop push standard?
 

The question is ridiculous. This is not at all close. You have a strong draw and you would like to get allin on the flop even with deep money.

Of course, push any flop. I would probably push preflop, but I think the preflop raise is fine.

the real question is do you call with 98 with the 8 of clubs?
 

after calling the bet you would have just over 1k in chips, do you call? just a little more info on the Hero. Hero was raising a lot from late position. Hero pushed in very quick. And Hero was talking way too much.
