Final Pot: t2520

I'm just wondering if there's a better line here... I didn't really stop to think about it when playing this hand... Was thinking that a better ace usually raises me and that I could get paid off by worse aces. Sometimes even mid pair if the players really suck. If I'm behind to a better ace or 2pair I've got outs. Anyone try to milk this one or is the push standard? I think opponents at this level don't give credit for an ace sometimes here. Thanks.

if you had about 600 less chips i wouldnt mind the push, but you have enough where you can check and see what happens or make a bet and hope to take it down on the flop.

I like a check or a pot bet. You should look to get something out of this hand. he's probably bet if you check, no matter what he has, so I'd like a check push more or even just a check/raise. He's probably drawing close to dead. If he has a better or worse A all of your and his chips will be going in, so slowing it down is a good idea, give him at least one chance to bet this, then if you really don't want to risk going bust in 4th, you can raise all in after that

I guess at the $11's you can expect a call in any situation, but typically you're only gonna get a call here when you're beat. But that's a sweet flop and you want to milk it a little. A CR would probably be better.
