Ah ok, ye if that's your read on him I guess that's fair!

Would you make the push with any two on the flop? How strong hand do you need to want to get more value out of the hand?

This is a good question. Given that this opponent is willing to back off from aggression and senses weakness pretty well, I can’t really check this flop often without opening myself up to calling a push. (You should always be the guy putting your opponent to tough decisions in big pots, not the other way around).

He also knows this flop hit my reraising range (high ace, a good pocket pair, high KXs, and some medium-strength hands like JTs and the occasional trash) square in the face, so I have good fold equity pushing a hand that missed a flop like KQ. He also has 900-ish left so if I bet smaller and he pushes into the pot it will be 600 for me to call, so I am committing myself anyways. Imo the only choice here is to push so yes I would push here with ‘any two’.
