My default is a push here.

Easy Push...show them who the boss is [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]seems like he wants to see a cheap flop, if you raise and he calls, he is pot commited and has to call a push on the flop...So there is no FE on a Flop push by you...

just push it unless you have a read that he is super tight here

You can push if you want to coinflip for most of your chips. Personally I think you're too deep to push here, and you're getting called way too often by random pairs at this level. Call and get away if an ace or king doesn't flop. At this level you also get called down a decent amount of time on ace and king high flops by people who can't release their pairs/don't believe you. Plus if they have a weaker ace/king they will usually go broke, while they will fold if you push preflop

Re: 16s push or call?
 

Yeah, my default is push here too.

Push seems like a good choice. If you flat call, get ready for some tough decisions later on in the hand (even if you flop an A or K)

utg turns out slow play KK, but still I shoved.
