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...

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

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)
