I was afraid of AA or KK after the min raise preflop, Couldnt ask for a much better flop since this contained an Ace although I didnt like the Q. Easy flop push?

Why not CR all in?

This is a very, very good spot to check, even with draws out there. Someone hit this flop, and you're going to get some chips by check-raising. Of course, if table has been unusually passive, I prefer pushing, but this is a great spot to get someone to fire at this pot.

I also think cold-calling was a mistake preflop. It's a lot of chips, a quarter of your stack, and that's a lot of dead money.

I think I could muck this preflop if I'm afraid of AA/KK.

I muck pre-flop because a) the initial raise came from UTG and got called and re-raised and b) you weren't even closing the action pre-flop.

Best case scenario, you're not against aces or kings. At the very least, some of your outs are likely in one of the other players' hands though. I fold pre-flop.

Agree. This is a pretty easy muck for me, and pushing is better than calling too.
