Didn't like the 99 push. You get looked up by anything better and if you checked, I bet he pushes any crap.

i wasn't pushing for value. i pushed on a JQxx board after he floated me on the flop because i didn't believe he had a Q. He could easily have had a J tho.

It was a JTxx but fair enough. However, I don't think he folds a J or a T. He didn't fold in a reraised pot with A2 and bottom pair and he'd pushed AJ with no pair on the river. I'd grit my teeth and check/call. I think your straight put him on tilt and he was itching to play back at you. Pushing gets called by anything better (IMO) and denies him the chance to make a mistake with a worse hand.
