See, I disagree. You have AT on and A high board in a bvb battle against an agg opponent. Thats pretty good. It's easy to say "what worse hand calls a push?", but we've all seen bad players felt it with bad A's or even flush draws.

Whether villian does stack off in this way (or if he bets his K on the flop incidentally) depends on whether villian is a good or bad player.

Depending on this and whether we put villian on a hand he will stack off with, pushing MAY be the best way to maximize value.

I typically c/c here against an aggressive player because I like to give them the opportunity to continue bluffing. This is to maximize value though, not to be cautious.

Like most bvb battles it comes down to what we know about our opponents tendencies and what hands we put them on.
