This is a $33. In the long run am I ahead here enough that I push? I've seen people play KK, QQ, and flush draws like this. I thought it was unlikely he would play a PP that would hit a set on this board.

Edit: Just realized there was no flush draw. whoops...

Your hand is still good here most of the time. Sure you will get some curveballs, but those are exceptions.

I don't think highly enough of your opponents to not push.

Push!

He mini-raised preflop which means I would put him on AK, AQs or a PP from TT-AA (maybe 99).

Three low cards come on the flop and he check raises you. I doubt he has 97 or 74. I don' put him on 66 or 55. So unless he has 88 you are in great shape.

If he mini-raised in early position with 88, then I am beat. Oh well!

The range of hands that I put him on make this an easy push for me.

[Jay36489]

Ok, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't overplaying AA here postflop. I did push, and thought it was correct.

Realize that you will lose to 88 here. Also realize that 99-KK are doubling you up and some other random stuff are paying you off too.
