Villain is 48/18/1.22 but not a very good read, yet again... still a pretty quiet/newish table. I've been tight but pretty aggressive.

I assume bet again... how much and do you plan on playing for stacks?

I push. He hasn't shown any strength and I think you have some fold equity. If you pot turn and river blanks you have half your stack in the middle with A high. Better to get the money in now.

ah good ol Push_Fold... can always count on you for a response [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I mean I think you're right here. I don't see any other way around it. I think I covered by a little bit. Yeah I guess I see zero other ways to play this...

Doesnt a push here just scream nut flush draw though?

Do we have enough folding equity for a check-raise all in here? (also, will he bet?)

Yeah he might check behind, but what check's behind here? A hand that's most likely folding to a push, I think. Our stacks are too close to even for a c/r ai to work here. He's probably following me right into the pot with something that I'm only 36% favorite too (hopefully) at best.
