Flat calling here sucks, DUCY?

[Fiksdal]

I'm probably doing this with AA/KK 100%, unless I have a special reason to believe he is 3betting me with just air or something.

I usually 4bet pot. Is pushing always better?

I guess i push any flop. What can he call me with he wouldn't have called a preflop push with?

i flat call here because i don't 4-bet preflop...but then again i know how to play poker postflop...so flat calling here doesn't suck...DUCY?

Playing OOP in a 3 bet pot in a RIO situation is the suck...DUCY? This hand is great to push PF for a lot of reasons.

i check-raise alot of flops that miss the Villain & Me. I think this a decent alternative to pushing preflop.

And I know all the reasons for pushing preflop but calling isn't terrible. It's not as great oop but if ur confident that Villain will continuation bet close to 100% here, than it doesn't really matter. DUCY?

Dude the push in OP is partly justified by a slightly loose/agressive villain. Check the stats before you felt 100bbs with AK.


Btw, could someone who are good at math and structured hand analysis do a estimation on the $EV of a push in OP hand assuming some fairly standard 3bet and push-call ranges?
