UTG (t3200)

BB (t1395)

Preflop: Hero is in CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">UTG folds</font>, <font color="gray">UTG+1 folds</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to t250</font>, <font color="red">Button raises to t400</font>, <font color="gray">SB folds</font>, <font color="gray">BB folds</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to t2410 (All-in)</font>

2 hand before this i push from Sb into his BB and pick the blinds. 1 hand ago i pushed A9 from the BTN and he instacalled with KJ. do u think a push is ok, or you rather get cute?

If you first raise and then push it looks obvious that you have a monster. I don't know if your previous hands were preflop pushes. If they were, you should push here preflop, inducing a call.

I like your push. Given you image I think you have a great chance not to get respect here, which is good of course.

Given your image and history with this guy, pushing might be the best way to get the money in. In general though, I think calling and check/raising the flop might be slightly more +EV.

^^Yes. Usually the best way to get everything in is to flat call here and check/shove the flop. But given your image and history with this guy, maybe you should have just shoved? It looks weaker than 3bet and it doesn't change your pace at all. If I start pushing with trash and then pick up a hand, I'm not going to slow down just to get some callers. To thinking players(I may overestimate how many there are in the microlimits) it sends off alarm bells. So with your history, I'm either open jamming here or r/c, c/r flop.
