----------
This is in Pokerroom's $40K guaranteed, a $22 with rebuys and addons. About halfway through the second hour.
MP3 was confused by my push and thought a long time before folding, and afterward asked if I had queens. Said he folded KK. I said kings no good. He thought my PFR was too big for AK. Finally convinced himself again that I'd had queens. I didn't dispute it the second time.
So, was my PFR too big? It's committing more than 1/4 of my stack, but with a lot of big stacks at the table I didn't want it to be too inviting. This was the first big hand to come my way in quite a while, and if it doesn't work out it probably doesn't matter too much whether I'm left with 3350 or 2950.
The push I don't think is really questionable. If either of the others has two spades, I want them to leave now. If I bet something like half the pot, MP gets decent odds for a spade draw, and if he calls BB gets fantastic odds for a spade draw. And if either of them raises I've put enough of my stack in that I'm calling anyway.
(For the curious, I just busted at the beginning of the third hour. I'd built up to about 9500, actually did get QQ against KK and got no help from the board. 266th out of 955, 130 will get paid.)
