For once I had a read on a player. The pusher in this hand had pushed the previous hand with Q9o and run into QQ from the BB. I smelt desperation and overpushed. Well, sometimes desperate people have hands.

Final Pot: t300

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
UTG has Kh Kc (three of a kind, kings).
Hero has Qh As (two pair, aces and queens).
Outcome: UTG wins t300. </font>

So, I suppose my question is, who lays this down and why? Looking at the blind sizes the BB almost has to call here. I might think citanul is humorless and arrogant but I am also starting to come around to his way of thinking about when to call.

Easy call.

I wouldn't fold. The question would be between calling and pushing. I think I would call and let BB in to take another chance at busting short stack and getting me ITM.
