Do you bet 1/2 pot or push all-in? It may seem like a trivial question, but please humor me.

push?

[silversurfer]

half pot, you shouldn't get a call with a push.

[pshaw019]

half pot .. your still not giving pot odds and will probably get a caller and you obviously have to assume you have the best hand.

Easy push

[lorinda]

Push.

If the river comes something scary, you might not get anything from the set of 7s, or 4s,(and the 8 /images/graemlins/spade.gif or 8 /images/graemlins/heart.gif might even make you fold a winner) and you also make anyone willing to gamble with you pay the maximum.

That is what I did, and everyone folded. So later I wondered if I should have bet less.

I didn't like the hearts and spades on the board, and the table was pretty loose. So I figured I would still get one caller with the push.

Thanks for the responses.
