Did I screw up here?

[1C5]

Party $11.

4 handed, I have a good size chip lead. Trying to flex my muscle and it comes back to bite me. Is this just bad luck or do I have to continue to push like this even though I will lose sometimes?

Easy push here with KT???

Hand 1 - I don't what else you can do execpt push. Your opponents have 5-6 BB left. They are in push or fold mode, so you are a lot better off being the pusher. Once you raise pre-flop, you are pot committed.

Hand 2 - Push. Your are in the 5-6 BB range and you don't want to sit around and hope someone else busts. Still have good FE at this point.

Hand 1. I used to think about this a lot. Could I have done something different? Good push, IMO

Hand 2. Push for me.

[curtains]

Both of these hands are clear pushes to me.

You NEED to push here, both times. Move your chips in and hope to double up (or they fold, both are good).

Haven't read the other replies, but I say "push" and "push."

I push both of them... bad luck to run into AQ...play on Pstars stacks are bigger in relation to the blinds allowing you to play more poker haha
