Default Re: 400nl - Maybe boring KK preflop with a poll

def 5b, one important factor is that if he has a hand like AQ he'll miss the flop alot and may well give up.

Yes, the benefit of pushing is getting the full stack from AK/AQ type of hands that might fold on the flop (not certainly because he'll get 3:1 to get 2 cards and might call on a low flop or with a gs or something).

Personally I don't think this really looks like AK/AQ and probably isn't a huge portion of his range, even though they're possible. This could anything from some kind of PP to air and I think "forcing" him to a flop with junk and felting any piece by raising to 190ish has more value than pushing right away. Thus I voted "standeard re-raise", but pushed in the actual hand.
