Default Re: NL25, hero has a Premium Hand and faces a 4BB bet and a raise to 8

[ QUOTE ]
What is MP2 like?

[/ QUOTE ]

No read on MP2 neither :-(

Hero is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].

So this was what crossed my mind at that point:
With Aces or Kings, I raise big here.
With QQ or JJ I probably call.
With a pair, I might call for set mining value.
AK, I can call, fold or push it on rare ocassions.
AX, I fold.

So I saw my pushing range only consisted of AK on some situations, and that I see the pushes here as weak so others will probably see my push as weak.

So, I pushed, and got called by JJ.

Now I remember Sklansky's words, against raise and re-raise, push Aces or Kings, and fold everything else.

So, you still prefer the raise and not the push with AA? Why? I think we should push here at least a certain percentage of the time with AA or KK.
