His flat call to my 3-bet PF worries me. It seems like players at this level will do this with AA, some kind of large SC (AQs, AKs sometimes), or sometimes a small/medium PP.

On the flop, I probably could have bet a bit more, but I think $10 is okay. I debate between folding or pushing. It's probably close, but I lean toward pushing. What do you think?

I shove. He probably puts you on a very wide range, thinking you are defending your small blind. Your hand is good against most of his range, I would instashove. The board is very drawy, and he shows up with a draw here a lot. I also make it 8 preflop, cuz lota monkeys will still call 5 thinking they can pretty much break even drawing to sets here.

I always push in this spot and if he has set/2pair/straight, just shrug.

wow tough spot. i dont think he is putting in over half his stack unless you are at best slightly ahead to a good draw. Plenty of hands to worry about 55-77, AKs, and sometimes a tricky AA or KK. could also have a hand like 1010 or JJ though. i like a fold, but usually push and curse.

[MattyTrane]

I push here.

[Logun]

bad spot, if he has KK/AA he's getting my stack, I expect to see AXss here a lot though

[Spinners]

I push here as well, his range from the button is very wide, and your perceived range is wide as well.
