I don't think his push OTT makes your initial raise a mistake. If you think someones likley to come over the top light you should be loving it. The danger is more what happens if he flat calls and you miss the flop.

I really feel that this is the actual point to shoving pf.

Um, I know...

I was responding to OP saying

I agree about the push,i realised my mistake the minute he pushed all in.

Having the guy push over you here is a result, not something to make you think you made a mistake.

Jammy,

I was agreeing with the above boldened statement meaning that it is the most important reason for why we shove pf. I felt that it was worth people seeing again. I'm sorry i confused you.

Totally agree. Is tuff to smile and say "nice hand, well played sir" after you got raped but you want him to do the same thing next time.

AQo is only a 60/40 against J9s.

With the amount of money in the pot, if pushing made him fold and raising made him come over the top, you should push.

Push EV = +15,000

Raise/Call EV = 0.6*(47,000) - 0.4*(-38,000) = +13,000

AQo is just not strong enough to want action here, with these stacks. You're 60/40 or 50/50 against a lot of hands.

When stacks are small compared to blinds, winning pots without showdown is almost always best.

As I just said above, do push preflop.

But him calling and us missing the flop is not the danger. You should be pushing every flop.

It'd be a mistake if either one of you folded on any flop. When one of you bets the flop, it's 15k to call into a 60k pot.

Preflop you should just be doing whatever will get you the most folds, unless you have a way to get him to get all in with stuff like 97o.
